National Semiconductor now with TI
National Semiconductor was an American semiconductor manufacturer, that specialized in analog devices and subsystems, formerly headquartered in Santa Clara, California, USA. The products of National Semiconductor included power management circuits, display drivers, audio and operational amplifiers, communication interface products and data conversion solutions.
National’s key markets included wireless handsets, displays and a variety of broad electronics markets, including medical, automotive, industrial, and test and measurement applications.
National Semiconductor was founded in Danbury, Connecticut by Dr. Bernard J. Rothlein on May 27, 1959, when he and seven colleagues, Edward N. Clarke, Joseph J. Gruber, Milton Schneider, Robert L. Hopkins, Robert L. Hoch, Richard N. Rau and Arthur V. Siefert, left their employment at the semiconductor division of Sperry Rand Corporation.
On September 23, 2011, the company formally became part of Texas Instruments as the “Silicon Valley” division.nn

Nothing like having a copy of the Original.. This will help you brush up the analog design skill and make you more capable of interfacing your Embedded System block to the real world which is made of Analog Parameters and Noisy Digital parameters too.. Signal Conditioning and protection is the first step in creating a robust and accurate real world interface.

National Semiconductor Corporation, Fairchild, Intersil and others were born with the chips. The birth of Integrated Circuits starts with them. Even the people who made Intel and many others have their early roots in these mother firms.
