'''Texas Instruments''' (TI) is a [[semiconductor]] manufacturing company based in [[Dallas]], [[Texas]] that is best known for the commercialization of the transistor.
The company was founded in 1941 as the electronics manufacturing division of the [[seismic exploration]] company [[Geophysical Service Incorporated]] (GSI). Benefiting from government contracts for submarine detection during [[World War II]], the electronic equipment division outgrew its parent and performed a reverse take-over of GSI in 1951, whereupon it adopted the name of Texas Instruments and GSI became its subsidiary.
