Producer
Texas Instruments
World's largest analog semiconductor company with ~20% global analog market share ($12.16B analog revenue in FY2024). Designs and manufactures analog ICs (amplifiers, converters, power management) on legacy 180nm–350nm nodes. Unlike peers, TI operates its own 300mm analog fabs (Richardson RFAB1/RFAB2; Sherman SM1-4 under construction) to control costs and supply. This vertical integration is a key competitive moat.

Did you know2023
Texas Instruments is publicly known for graphing calculators and analog chips, but TI's power management ICs are inside every server CPU board, GPU board, and data center power supply in the world — TI holds approximately 18% of the global power management IC market. Every NVIDIA H100 AI training cluster, every AMD EPYC server, every Intel Xeon data center processor requires TI voltage regulators (TPS series) to convert and regulate the power supply. A TI supply disruption would simultaneously halt new server manufacturing at Dell/HPE/Supermicro, new GPU board production at AIB partners, and laptop production at Apple/Lenovo/HP. Unlike most semiconductor companies that outsource to TSMC, TI operates its own 300mm analog fabs in Dallas, Texas and Lehi, Utah — making TI one of the few US-headquartered IDMs (integrated device manufacturers) with domestic manufacturing capacity for a critical input to AI infrastructure.

Texas Instruments was founded in 1951 as a renamed version of Geophysics Inc (1930), an oil exploration instruments company. Jack Kilby joined TI in June 1958 from Centralab and, because he was too new to qualify for summer vacation, stayed alone in the lab while colleagues were away. In July 1958, Kilby built the first working monolithic integrated circuit — a phase-shift oscillator built on a germanium wafer with all components connected by gold wire bonds. TI filed the patent in February 1959; Robert Noyce at Fairchild filed his own IC patent in July 1959 using a silicon planar process. Both patents were eventually recognized as covering the IC invention. Kilby won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2000 (Noyce died in 1990). Before the IC, TI had made the first commercial transistor-powered consumer product: a hearing aid (1954), and the first pocket transistor radio with Regency Electronics (also 1954). The invention of the modern semiconductor industry happened in Dallas because a new employee could not take vacation.
