Title: All start from Texas Instrument... Post by: M@X77 on May 05, 2017, 11:07:52 11:07 I like share with you a my thought, all storical IC company maker are joining, is it not curious?
TI bought National Semiconductor [2011] NXP bought Freescale (ex Motorola) [2015] Microchip bought Atmel [2016] On Semiconductor bought Fairchild [2016] What do prospect us the future? ST is still free :D Title: Re: All start from Texas Instrument...

It's a normal thing as industries mature and price pressures increase.
