Texas Instruments CTO: Our Innovation is Everywhere | Apex Series
Watch our exclusive interview with Dr. Ahmad Bahai, CTO at at Texas Instruments (NASDAQ: TXN).
We could find Texas Instruments innovation everywhere, from #datacenters chips, to embedded processors and even calculators.
We started by discussing #KilbyLabs and how they decide what to develop, including how they evaluate whether an idea has enough moat to justify the required R&D investment and time.
From there, we explored several of their innovations, including the new bulk acoustic wave #BAW clock technology, cutting-edge isolation solutions, and radar technologies.
We then discussed their recent breakthrough in creating the world’s smallest microcontroller #MCU and how this development could reshape the semiconductor space.
But of course, as a formidable #Chess player, we compared chess strategy to the semi industry - highlighting both similarities and differences, especially in a field where time-to-market can span up to five years.
And guess who Dr. Ahmad’s favorite #book is about? 💡⚡🔬
