PART I

ITEM 1. Business.

General
- -------
Texas Instruments Incorporated (hereinafter the "Registrant,"
including subsidiaries except where the context indicates otherwise) is one of
the world's foremost high technology companies, with sales or manufacturing
operations in more than 30 countries. The Registrant is engaged in the
development, manufacture, and sale of a variety of products in the commercial
electronics and electrical industry primarily for industrial and consumer
markets. These products consist of components, digital products and
metallurgical materials. In addition, the Registrant's patent portfolio has
been established as an ongoing contributor to the Registrant's revenues. The
Registrant's business is based principally on its broad semiconductor
technology and application of this technology to digital solutions for the
networked society. The Registrant from time to time considers acquisitions
and divestitures which may alter its business mix. The Registrant may effect
one or more such transactions at such time or times as the Registrant
determines to be appropriate. As discussed below, the Registrant and Raytheon
Company ("Raytheon") entered into a definitive agreement as of January 4, 1997
under which Raytheon will purchase the Registrant's defense systems and
electronics business. See "ITEM 1. Business, Discontinued Operations."

The information with respect to net revenues, profit and
identifiable assets of the Registrant's industry segments and operations
outside the United States, which is contained in the note to the financial
statements captioned "Industry Segment and Geographic Area Operations" on
pages 28-30 of the Registrant's 1996 annual report to stockholders, is
incorporated herein by reference to such annual report.

Components
- ----------
Components consist of semiconductor integrated circuits (such as
digital signal processors, mixed-signal and analog circuits, microprocessors/
microcontrollers, applications processors, memories, and digital circuits),
semiconductor discrete devices, semiconductor subassemblies (such as custom
modules for specific applications), and electrical and electronic control
devices (such as motor protectors, starting relays, circuit breakers,
thermostats, sensors, and radio-frequency identification systems).

These components are used in a broad range of products for
industrial end-use (such as computers and peripheral equipment,
telecommunications, instrumentation, and industrial motor controls and
automation equipment), consumer end-use (such as cellular phones, modems,
televisions, cameras, automobiles, home appliances, and residential air
conditioning and heating systems), and government end-use (such as defense and
space equipment). The Registrant sells these components primarily to original
equipment manufacturers principally through its own marketing organizations
and to a lesser extent through distributors.














2

Digital Products
- ----------------
Digital products include electronic calculators, software
productivity tools, mobile computing products and other electronic systems.
In 1996, the Registrant sold substantially all of its custom manufacturing
services business and its printer business. Subsequent to year-end 1996, the
Registrant reached an agreement to sell its mobile computing business. Digital
products are used in a broad range of enterprise-wide, work group and personal
information-based applications. The Registrant markets these products through
various channels, including system suppliers, business equipment dealers,
distributors, retailers, and direct sales to end-users and original equipment
manufacturers.

Metallurgical Materials
- -----------------------
Metallurgical materials include clad metals, precision-engineered
parts and electronic connectors for use in a variety of applications such as
appliances, automobiles, electronic components, and industrial and
telecommunications equipment. These metallurgical materials are primarily
sold directly to original equipment manufacturers.

Discontinued Operations
- -----------------------
The Registrant's defense systems and electronics business ("DSE")
consists of radar systems, navigation systems, infrared surveillance and fire
control systems, defense suppression missiles, other weapon systems (including
antitank and interdiction weapons), missile guidance and control systems,
electronic warfare systems, and other defense electronic equipment. Sales are
made to the U.S. government (either directly or through prime contractors) and
to international customers approved by the U.S. government.

The Registrant and Raytheon entered into a definitive agreement as
of January 4, 1997 under which Raytheon will purchase DSE. In connection with
the sale, and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, the
Registrant has restated prior financial statements and financial information
to segregate the results of DSE from detailed financial components. As such,
defense-related financial results are reported in the Registrant's
consolidated financial statements on pages 18-21 of the Registrant's 1996
annual report to stockholders as discontinued operations. Operating results,
net asset and other information for discontinued operations appears in the
note to the financial statements captioned Discontinued Operations; unless
otherwise indicated, the financial amounts in this Form 10-K have been
adjusted to reflect continuing operations only.

Competition
- -----------
The Registrant is engaged in highly competitive businesses. Its
competitors include several of the largest companies in the United States,
Asia, and elsewhere abroad as well as many small, specialized companies. The
Registrant is a significant competitor in each of its principal businesses.
Generally, the Registrant's businesses are characterized by rapidly changing
technology which has, throughout the Registrant's history, intensified the
competitive factors, primarily performance and price.

Backlog
- -------
The dollar amount of backlog of orders believed by the Registrant to
be firm was $1623 million as of December 31, 1996 and $2294 million as of
December 31, 1995. The Registrant's backlog does not represent actual revenues
and is only an indication of future revenues which may be entered on the books
of account of the Registrant. Backlog orders are, under certain circumstances,
subject to cancellation by the purchaser without penalty and generally do not
reflect any potential adjustments for price decreases.


3

Raw Materials
- -------------
The Registrant purchases materials, parts and supplies from a number
of suppliers. The Registrant's silicon materials operation became part of a
joint venture with MEMC Electronic Materials, Inc., in May 1995. The
Registrant retains a minority ownership interest in the joint venture. The
materials, parts and supplies essential to the Registrant's business are
generally available at present and the Registrant believes at this time that
such materials, parts and supplies will be available in the foreseeable
future.

Patents and Trademarks
- ----------------------
The Registrant owns many patents in the United States and other
countries in fields relating to its business. The Registrant has developed a
strong, broad-based patent portfolio. The Registrant also has several
agreements with other companies involving license rights and anticipates that
other licenses may be negotiated in the future. The Registrant does not
consider its business materially dependent upon any one patent or patent
license, although taken as a whole, the rights of the Registrant and the
products made and sold under patents and patent licenses are important to the
Registrant's business. As noted above, the Registrant's patent portfolio has
been established as an ongoing contributor to the revenues of the Registrant.
See "ITEM 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations."

The Registrant owns trademarks that are used in the conduct of its
business. These trademarks are valuable assets, the most important of which
are "Texas Instruments" and the Registrant's corporate monogram.

Research and Development
- ------------------------
The Registrant's research and development expense was $1181 million
in 1996, compared with $842 million in 1995 and $578 million in 1994, and
included a one-time charge in 1996 of $192 million for the value of acquired
in-process research and development as a result of the acquisition of Silicon
Systems, Inc.

Seasonality
- -----------
The Registrant's revenues are subject to some seasonal variation.

Employees
- ---------
The information concerning the number of persons employed by the
Registrant, including persons employed in the Registrant's defense business,
at December 31, 1996 on page 32 of the Registrant's 1996 annual report to
stockholders is incorporated herein by reference to such annual report.

ITEM 2. Properties.

The Registrant's principal offices are located at 13500 North
Central Expressway, Dallas, Texas. The Registrant owns and leases plants in
the United States and 15 other countries for manufacturing and related
purposes. The following table indicates the general location of the principal
plants of the Registrant and the industry segments which make major use of
them. Except as otherwise indicated, the principal plants are owned by the
Registrant.

The Registrant's facilities in the United States contained
approximately 19,600,000 square feet as of December 31, 1996, of which
approximately 5,400,000 square feet were leased. The Registrant's facilities
outside the United States contained approximately 7,000,000 square feet as of
December 31, 1996, of which approximately 1,800,000 square feet were leased.

The Registrant believes that its existing properties are in good
condition and suitable for the manufacture of its products. At the end of
1996, the Registrant utilized substantially all of the space in its
facilities.

Leases covering the Registrant's leased facilities expire at varying
dates generally within the next 10 years. The Registrant anticipates no
difficulty in either retaining occupancy through lease renewals, month-to-
month occupancy or purchases of leased facilities, or replacing the leased
facilities with equivalent facilities.

ITEM 3. Legal Proceedings.

As indicated in the Registrant's Current Report on Form 8-K dated
November 26, 1996, the Registrant reached agreement on a broad 10-year cross
license agreement with Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., of Korea, which settled
all pending litigation between the companies, including the litigation
discussed in ITEM 3 of the Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 1995 and ITEM 1 of the Registrant's Quarterly Reports
on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31 and September 30, 1996.

On July 19, 1991, the Registrant filed a lawsuit in Tokyo District
Court against Fujitsu Limited of Japan ("Fujitsu") seeking injunctive relief,
alleging that Fujitsu's manufacture and sale of certain DRAMs infringe the
Registrant's Japanese patent on the invention of the integrated circuit (the
"Kilby" patent). Concurrently, Fujitsu brought a lawsuit in the same court
against the Registrant, seeking a declaration that Fujitsu is not infringing
the Kilby patent. On August 31, 1994, the district court ruled that Fujitsu's
production of 1-megabit and 4-megabit DRAMs and 32K EPROMs does not infringe
the Kilby patent. The Registrant has appealed the court's decision to the
Tokyo High Court.

The Registrant is involved in various investigations and proceedings
conducted by the federal Environmental Protection Agency and certain state
environmental agencies regarding disposal of waste materials. Although the
factual situations and the progress of each of these matters differ, the
Registrant believes that the amount of its liability will not have a material
adverse effect upon its financial position or results of operations and, in
most cases, the Registrant's liability will be limited to sharing clean-up or
other remedial costs with other potentially responsible parties.
