From Texas oil fields to the heart of the global semiconductor industry, Texas Instruments (TI) is a tale of relentless reinvention, Nobel Prize-winning breakthroughs, and bold strategic pivots. The story begins with seismic technology used to find oil and explodes into technological history when Jack Kilby invents the integrated circuit—redefining electronics and launching the digital age from a humble Dallas lab. TI’s journey includes the first handheld calculators, the invention of DLP projector tech, and the creation of “boring” but essential analog chips that quietly power everything from smartphones to modern cars. Unlike flashier chipmakers, TI has built one of tech’s deepest competitive moats through patient innovation, world-class manufacturing, and an uncanny knack for embracing what others overlook. How did TI conquer—and sometimes nearly lose—so many revolutionary markets, and can it continue to thrive as the world’s “analog empire”? Dive into the full story to discover the surprising decisions and lessons behind the company powering tomorrow’s technology!
