Texas Instruments is a US manufacturer of integrated circuits (which one of their employees, Jack Kilby, co-invented) and other semiconductor devices. Among other accomplishments, they introduced the 74 series of TTL chips.

They have attempted a number of times to produce computers (e.g. the TI Explorer), but without any significant success.
