History of Texas Instruments Inc. TXN TI wasn’t always in the semiconductor business. We started out as a small oil and gas company in 1930, then focused on defense systems electronics in the late 1940s. With the invention of the integrated circuit in 1958, TI entered the semiconductor business, devising microprocessors in the 1970s and digital signal processors in the 1980s. On their website, TXN states claims that they are changing the world, one chip at a time. Our analog and embedded processing products power electronics across every industry and help to make the world smarter, safer, greener, healthier and more fun. They officially become Texas Instruments Incorporated, entering the semiconductor industry by inventing the silicon transistor in 1954.
