Good news from Japan??!! techweb.com Texas Instruments Sees Sales Jump In Japan 04/13/98; 9:56 a.m. ET) By Staff, Semiconductor Business News Texas Instruments Japan did not follow other chip makers' plunging profits in that country, but instead reported a 140 percent increase in net earnings to $91 million (12.1 billion yen) for 1997, up from $38 million 5.3 billion yen) the previous year. Sales for Dallas-based TI's Japanese subsidiary totaled $2.2 billion (294 billion yen), up 15 percent from the previous year. TI Japan officials attributed the higher sales and profits to increased shipments of higher-margin digital signal processors and mixed-signal analog-digital integrated circuits. TI Japan escaped the devastating crash of dynamic RAM prices that hit major chip makers because the U.S. company's DRAM production in that country is with a separate subsidiary, Kobe TI Semiconductors.
