Congratulations to Andy Smith, our director of Giving and Volunteering and executive director of the TI Foundation, on receiving the 2026 TACA Silver Cup Award! This award honors individuals who have demonstrated exceptional volunteerism, advocacy and leadership for the arts in Dallas. 🎭 Andy leads TI's efforts to strengthen communities around the world, and his lifelong passion for the arts is an example of the impact our team makes every day. We’re proud of the impact that TIers, like Andy, are making to strengthen the communities where we live and work. Join us in celebrating Andy and the lasting difference he makes through his leadership and service.👏

Behind every breakthrough is a person who started somewhere — and for many TIers, that somewhere was an internship. 💡 From mentorship opportunities with technology leaders to meaningful projects that make a difference, our interns are building skills that set the foundation for long-term career success. Get the scoop from 3 TIers who started as interns on the projects and experiences that helped shape their careers. 🔗 Click the link in our comments to read the full story.

What sets edge AI apart from cloud-based processing? This tiny technology enables real time decision making, right in the application. 🤖 Edge AI-enabled devices sense, process, and respond to data in the real world, without relying on the cloud. In our latest newsletter, discover: ➡️How edge AI technology is becoming more accessible and practical than ever. ➡️The first digital signal processing chip that led the way for today's edge AI applications. ➡️Real-world applications and the future of intelligent edge AI technologies. Edge AI is here, and it's necessary for the world’s progression to a more intelligent, responsive future.

Would you be surprised to learn that future of edge AI all started with a children's toy? 🧸➡️🤖 In 1978, TI's Speak & Spell introduced the world's first chip with digital signal processing (DSP) logic. Fast forward to today -- that same technology DNA lives inside the edge AI devices transforming intelligent systems across healthcare, automotive and beyond. Roland Sperlich, vice president and general managers of processors, recently sat down with Speak & Spell pioneer Gene Frantz to trace the remarkable journey from DSP to edge AI.🎙️ Click the link in the comments to listen to the full interview. ➡️

Lights, camera, chips! 🎥 We are at the heart of modern technology, designing and manufacturing analog and embedded chips that quietly power everything around us. Bloomberg Originals recently toured our newest 300mm manufacturing facility in Sherman, Texas, as part of a documentary spotlighting the global semiconductor industry. 💡 Watch the episode to learn more about: ➡️ The foundational chips that are the backbone of essentially all modern technology ➡️ Our 15 manufacturing sites that work together globally to provide tens of billions of chips every year to customers ➡️ How we are investing in U.S. semiconductor manufacturing to enable the technologies of the future Click the link in the comments to watch the documentary and see why TI remains the OG American chip company driving U.S. manufacturing forward.

Ever wonder what it takes to pack up to 3x higher power into a smaller space?⚡ Meet Daniel Norwood, a systems engineer at TI who helped bring IsoShield™ technology to life — shrinking power solution sizes by as much as 70% and setting a new standard for power density. Here’s what motivates him every day: 💡 Best advice: Don't lose sight of the goal when obstacles get in the way ✅ Lesson learned: Keep working and pushing forward to reach a solution ⚙️ Key to success: A shared vision and the drive to achieve it together Innovation like this doesn't happen alone. It takes curiosity, persistence and great teammates.

From leading STEM events for young girls to serving as a United Way liaison for a local nonprofit, Katie Kennedy has spent her five years at TI showing up not only in her role as a logistics manager, but for her community. "I want to make every student feel like they can have the biggest dreams and not see any roadblocks due to their background or financial status." Watch Katie's story and see what it looks like when purpose drives a career. 🤝

This Global Volunteer Month, our employees are showing up for the communities around the world to make a lasting difference. Here are just a few ways TIers are giving back: ✨Sparking curiosity in technology and innovation among students 🎒Packing and distributing school kits to young learners 📖Partnering with organizations like United Way to invest in the next generation through education 🔬Introducing students to STEM through hands-on learning 🌱Restoring and protecting the environment 🫶And so much more! Thank you, TIers, for helping build stronger communities this month and every month!

Progress with a view! ⛰️ Our new 300mm fab in Lehi, UT is really coming together! Did you know that some of the cranes we are using for construction can lift up to 2.7M pounds? That's the approximate weight of 250 adult elephants!🏗️🐘 This second fab will connect to our existing fab, and together they will manufacture 10s of millions of analog and embedded processing chips every day! We’re excited for what’s to come and the impact this fab and our teams will have for decades to come.

From the devices you use every day to the systems powering our world, the chips we create are helping build a more sustainable future. This Earth Day, explore how semiconductors are enabling energy-efficient innovations. ⚡ Meeting power demands with sustainable energy sources: our chips improve power conversion and energy efficiency through real-time control, precise sensing and measurement. 🚗 Driving the future of travel: our products support more accurate battery management and power systems in electric vehicles, helping extend range and reduce energy loss. 🤖 Enabling smarter automation: our edge-AI devices enable real-time decisions with low power consumption in industrial systems, personal electronics and more. At TI, we don’t just envision a more sustainable world. We are developing the technologies that make it possible.
