Or is it April 1st?
I received this from Texas Instruments.
Dear valued customer,
I am excited to let you know that TI has signed a definitive agreement to
purchase National Semiconductor, uniting two industry leaders that have a
common commitment to solving your analog needs. I want to reinforce TI's
commitment to you, our customer, as we merge our two companies.
This acquisition will allow us to address your analog needs with a product
portfolio of unmatched breadth and depth. National's 12,000 products plus
TI's 30,000 means more performance, power and packaging options when
selecting the right ICs for your application. And we'll provide a common
set of best-in-class online tools to make the selection and design process
easier.
Our combined sales and applications team of 2,500 will be larger than any
in the industry so we can provide more customers with greater face-to-face
support than ever before.
Our manufacturing operations will offer more capacity to support your
growth. TI's fabs and National's available capacity can enable higher
production levels.
While both companies will operate independently pending the close, our goal
thereafter is to make the integration process as seamless as possible. No
requalification of products will be necessary since National's
manufacturing sites will continue to be utilized. Part numbers from both
companies will remain the same. There will be no obsolescence of products.
I'm excited about what the integration of our two companies will mean for
you: an unmatched portfolio to meet your analog needs, an extensive sales
and applications network to ease the design process, and manufacturing
capacity to support your growth.
You can learn more about the acquisition at www.ti.com/acquire, including
answers to frequently asked questions and video messages from TI leaders
regarding the acquisition.
Thank you for choosing TI. I look forward to a great future together.
Best regards,
