Major Mergers And Acquisitions:
One of TI’s most pivotal acquisitions was National Semiconductor Corp, acquired in 2011. National Semiconductor – founded in 1959 – is now part of TI's Analog segment and specializes in semiconductor solutions designed for the industrial, computing, communications, and consumer markets. This acquisition was key to TI’s growth and allowed the company to diversify its product portfolio and expand its customer base in key markets.
In 2006, TI acquired AnalogicTech, a Seattle-based provider of power management technology. This acquisition not only strengthened TI’s power management solutions but also allowed the company to develop products specifically tailored to the mobile, computing, and consumer markets. Since then, TI has also acquired companies such as Unitrode (2006) and Burr-Brown (2000), both of which have contributed significantly to TI’s growth in the field of analog and digital ICs.
In 2017, TI acquired E2V, a leading designer and manufacturer of high-performance analog, digital, and mixed-signal integrated circuits. This acquisition has enabled TI to expand its portfolio of products designed for markets including industrial, medical, and automotive. TI has also recently acquired GraspIO, a start-up that specializes in the development of products designed to help make coding and technological innovation accessible to everyone. This acquisition further demonstrates TI’s commitment to providing products that are tailored to the needs of the customer.
Since its inception, Texas Instruments has been making progress, committed to the design, manufacture, testing and sales of analog and embedded semiconductors, helping customers effectively manage power, accurately sense and transmit data, and provide core control or processing in the design, in Create differentiated applications in markets such as industrial, automotive, personal electronics, communications equipment, and enterprise systems. Multiple successful acquisitions give it access to a broad range of industry-leading technologies, securing its competitive advantage for years to come
