The Burr-Brown Corporation was an American technology company based in Tucson, Arizona, that designed, manufactured, and marketed a broad line of proprietary, standard, high-performance, analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits (ICs). The company's products were used in various applications including industrial process and control, telecommunications, test and measurement, medical and scientific instrumentation, digital audio and video, and personal computing and multimedia.
Burr-Brown was founded in 1956 by Robert Page Burr and Thomas R. Brown Jr. to commercialize semiconductor transistors. The company posted its first profit in 1959 and went public in 1983, trading on NASDAQ under the symbol BBRC. By the late 1990s, Burr-Brown was producing over 1,500 microelectronic components and had more than 25,000 buyers worldwide. In June 2000, Texas Instruments acquired Burr-Brown for $7.6 billion.
Burr-Brown was renowned for its precision analog and data acquisition products. The company pioneered many analog semiconductor products and techniques, such as active laser-trimming. It was particularly known for its high-quality data converters, including 24-bit converters, and its range of operational amplifiers (op amps), which remain crucial in modern audio systems.
Burr-Brown was one of the principal suppliers of precision analog and data acquisition products to the electronic industry. The company's products were industry standards in various sectors, including professional audio, smart home, automotive, and medical instrumentation. After its acquisition by Texas Instruments, Burr-Brown's technology continued to be a benchmark for high-fidelity audio and signal processing.
The complete product catalog of Burr-Brown, now integrated into Texas Instruments, includes a wide range of analog and mixed-signal ICs. This catalog can be accessed through Texas Instruments' official website or through distributors like Mouser Electronics and Procure International Inc..
Burr-Brown's products were used by a diverse range of clients across various industries, including professional audio equipment manufacturers, smart home device makers, automotive companies, and medical device manufacturers.
