Making the future of embedded possible
Cost-optimized performance
Our general-purpose MCUs and processors deliver flexibility and performance for diverse embedded applications. Choose from Arm® Cortex®-M microcontrollers with pin-to-pin compatibility, integrated analog features, and packages from 8 to 100+ pins. For Linux and Android systems, our processors combine CPU cores, peripherals, and accelerators for multimedia, graphics, and connectivity. Streamlined design resources and unified software development environments help you get to market faster.
Embedded solutions paired with open-source RTOS
TI has been a major contributor to Zephyr since its inception in 2016, integrating this open-source RTOS across our embedded devices to deliver reliable, scalable, and high-performance solutions.
We offer both official Zephyr repository access and TI-maintained downstream repositories that give you early access to the latest boards and software features, along with faster bug fixes and enhanced functionality.
We've also invested in a comprehensive tooling ecosystem ranging from open-source Visual Studio Code extension plugin to OpenOCD, demonstrating our long-term commitment to supporting Zephyr and to provide you a robust, easy to use, fully supported development experience beyond basic enablement.
Bring powerful AI to the edge
Backed by decades of expertise in digital signal processing (DSP), our devices enable complex perception, audio, and real-time monitoring and control applications without the cost or power trade-offs of cloud processing. Our MCUs feature TinyEngine™ neural processing units that deliver ultra-low power AI with up to 92 times lower latency and 123 times lower inference energy than CPU-based systems. For vision applications, our processors support 1-12 camera systems with open-source tools for facial recognition, object detection, and pose estimation using TensorFlow, PyTorch, ONNX, and more.
Seamless connectivity and scalability
Our devices feature diverse communication interfaces and next-generation technologies including Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN), single-pair Ethernet, EtherCAT, EtherNet/IP, IO-Link, and PROFINET protocols. With certified device stacks and comprehensive stack support at no additional cost, our solutions deliver real-time, deterministic communication with cycle times as low as 31.25 microseconds. From single-chip, multi-protocol industrial Ethernet to Gigabit TSN-enabled devices with integrated PCIe hubs and Ethernet switches, we help reduce development time, project costs, and time-to-market for factory automation and control applications.
Security enablers to help you meet security requirements
Our MCUs and processors integrate scalable security enablers to help protect your systems from evolving security vulnerabilities and threats. These enablers include secure boot, cryptographic accelerators, SHE/EVITA-compliant hardware security modules, and Arm TrustZone® technology. Backed by a comprehensive ecosystem of tools, libraries, software examples, and documentation, we help you meet security requirements and regulations while reducing development complexity.
Streamline your functional safety design
From industrial automation and motor drives to advanced automotive systems, our functional safety-compliant MCUs and processors are designed with safety-focused architecture and built-in diagnostics. Leveraging TÜV SÜD-certified hardware and software development processes, our products help you achieve the highest Automotive Safety Integrity Level (ASIL) and Safety Integrity Level (SIL) your design requires while reducing development time and complexity.
