Texas Instruments Incorporated engages in the design, manufacture, marketing, and sale of high-technology components in the United States and internationally. It operates in two segments, Semiconductor and Education Technology. The Semiconductor segment offers analog semiconductors and digital signal processors, which are used in applications that serve the communications, computer, consumer electronics, automotive, and industrial markets. This segment also designs and manufactures other types of semiconductors, such as microcontrollers, a microprocessor designed to control a very specific task for electronic equipment used in safety-critical automotive applications; DLP, a digital display technology used in projectors and high-definition televisions, which enable clear video; microprocessors that serve as the brains of high-end computer servers; and standard logic devices are chips generally used to manage the interchange and manipulation of signals within a system. It sells its products to original equipments manufacturers, original design manufacturers, contract manufacturers, and distributors through a direct sales force, distributors, and authorized third-party sales representatives. The Education Technology Segment supplies graphing handheld calculators; business and scientific calculators; and classroom tools and professional development resources to help students and teachers interactively explore math and science. This segment sells its products primarily through retailers and instructional dealers. The company was founded in 1930 as Geophysical Service and changed its name to Texas Instruments Incorporated in 1951. Texas Instruments is headquartered in Dallas, Texas.
