DALLAS, Dec. 7 – At the upcoming 2013 Consumer Electronics Show (CES), Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) will display just a few of the ways its technology is engineering the future of electronics to improve how people live, work and play. On Jan. 8-11, at the Las Vegas Convention Center, the TI Village at CES will feature the latest analog and embedded processing technologies driving intelligent display, entertainment, automotive, energy management, safety, security, health and fitness, and more.

"Imagine automobiles that significantly increase your safety on the road, while also giving you the entertainment capabilities of your living room and the communications infrastructure of your office. Picture an automated home where entertainment, comfort, security and energy management are handled through a single gateway to the cloud. Envision health technology that allows us to monitor our own internal 'engines,' our heart and blood, 24 hours a day," said Mark Denissen, TI's vice president of strategic marketing. "These are just a few examples of what we'll be showing in the TI Village. We believe it's the perfect venue for designers to see first-hand how TI's analog and embedded processing technologies will help them shape the future of our world."

TI's broad range of analog and embedded processing semiconductor solutions offer the high performance, low power and integration that its customers require to create innovative and differentiated consumer electronics. The TI Village in the North Hall Meeting Rooms at CES 2013 will be packed with a number of themed zones, highlighting specific real-world applications using TI technologies, including:

• Automotive: From front- and rear-seat infotainment, heads-up displays (HUD) and object detection, to eCall and driver assist applications, TI's solutions make driving experiences safer, greener and more enjoyable.
