Texas Instruments has announced the availability of its mobile app for the Apple iPhone and Android-powered smartphones, making it the first semiconductor supplier to offer both a mobile app and a mobile-optimized website for designers to explore the company’s portfolio of products and system solutions. The app, which is free on both platforms, allows users to search for TI products using a TI part number or that of a competitor, or browsing by product family to view descriptions, specifications, features, and pricing information.
Complementing TI’s mobile website, app allows users to get product information and technical documents on the go

“In today’s world, we realize how important it is for customers to easily access information and take action wherever they are,” said Melanie Calahan, director of Internet Marketing at TI. “This fact drove the creation of TI’s mobile-optimized website, as well as our iPhone and Android apps. These enable customers to find the right ICs for their design, get information on those ICs for quick reference on-the-go, and send information to their desktop for more thorough investigation later.”

Features of the TI Mobile App:
Search for TI devices by part number or browse product families to access product descriptions, specifications, features, datasheets, and pricing information.
Search for functional equivalents to competitor products by entering the competing part number, and discover information on TI solutions to meet similar performance requirements.
Save important product folders or documents and email them to yourself for later viewing.
Share saved product folders and documents with colleagues via email.
Locate and contact nearby TI sales offices and distributors.
