Burr-Brown Corporation was founded in 1956 in Tucson, Arizona by Page Burr and Thomas R. Brown Jr., starting in Brown's garage to commercialize semiconductor transistors. The company became a leading designer and manufacturer of high-performance analog and mixed-signal ICs, particularly renowned for audio DACs. In 1982, Burr-Brown demonstrated a 16-bit monolithic DAC that revolutionized digital audio, helping transition from vinyl to CDs. Their 1989 OPA627 became an audio technology classic. Texas Instruments acquired Burr-Brown in September 2000 for $7.6 billion, the highest price paid for an Arizona company. Today, Burr-Brown exists as TI's premium audio brand, offering the industry's largest portfolio of high-fidelity audio devices including Class-D amplifiers, data converters, and op amps for professional audio, automotive, and smart home applications.
