TEXAS INSTRUMENTS INC · 2026-10-21 · Importance 47 · Surprise 48
Management said embedded processing revenue grew 21% year over year and described the embedded recovery as roughly a year behind analog, with embedded having peaked in 2023 versus analog’s 2022 peak. Lehi Fab 1 had room to absorb foundry-based production transfers and support growth in coming quarters; the Lehi Fab 2 shell was nearing completion, with tool installations to be paced to demand. TI also cited additional clean-room capacity associated with the Silicon Labs acquisition to support transferring foundry production into TI facilities. Management said the embedded portfolio was growing and that the company saw further room for top-line growth.
