Texas Instruments

Driving Innovation, Delivering Solutions

Texas Instruments is your most important semiconductor partner when you're developing next-generation designs. Not only does TI have the "inside track" on the Windows platforms, we have co-developed many of the standards, such as PC98 and Device Bay, you'll need to adopt to attain leadership in your market space.

Whether your focus is on designing for broadband connectivity, multimedia and 3D, state-of-the-art consumer electronics, low-cost or power managed platforms, TI has the technical expertise, the development tools and the products you need to be successful.

We invite you to visit the TI booth, number 401, and demo area, room 222A, at WinHEC 98, and see for yourself the technologies that are transforming PC design and manufacturing through innovation, performance, reliability and value. At WinHEC 98, TI will be demonstrating the future in the following areas:


Audio Power Amplifiers

Audio power amplifiers (APAs) are a special type of operational amplifier, optimized to drive low impedance loads, typically speakers and headphones, at frequencies from 20 Hz to 20 kHz. Depending on the device, these amplifiers can provide a few hundred milliwatts to several watts of output power at a given supply voltage. APAs offer very low distortion for increased fidelity in music or speech, and good power supply rejection when operating in noisy environments.

Broadband Access Products

Texas Instruments Broadband Access Products enable a cost-effective consumer ADSL modem solution for the PC. Because TI's solution is based on our leadership in fully programmable DSP technology, it provides the processing power and upgradability required to effectively bridge the gap between voiceband and broadband communications.

1394 Solutions

TI released the first IEEE-approved 1394 silicon in 1994, and TI has been the leading supplier of 1394 solutions ever since. TI is the first and only 1394 hardware provider to deliver 100-, 200- and 400-Mbps PHYs, LINK layers and backplane devices, and TI’s dedicated teams of 1394 applications and software engineers are helping customers resolve design questions on the device as well as the system level. Through these and other support tools such as technology seminars, designer kits and software, TI offers customers the easiest and most complete connection to 1394 technology.

PCI Solutions

In 1995, TI revolutionized laptop design by introducing the world’s first functioning CardBus controller. Today, we offer the most comprehensive line of CardBus controllers in the industry, enjoying a 90% market share in all CardBus-equipped laptops manufactured worldwide. Our PCI12xx series of CardBus controllers is currently the fastest on the market, and we were the first to supply devices that support the new ACPI and PCI Power Management standards.
