About Texas Instruments

Texas Instruments (TI) is a global semiconductor company designing, manufacturing, and selling analog and embedded processing chips — powering everything from industrial automation to automotive safety systems worldwide.

About the Team — High Speed Data Interface Product Group

The

High Speed Data Interface product group

focuses on the development of differentiated high-speed

SerDes SoCs

targeted for

automotive and industrial markets . There are two primary focus areas —

Ethernet PHY

and

FPD-Link .

Ethernet PHY Group:

A large number of applications — like in-vehicle driver alertness monitors, steering, or accelerator control in automotive and robotic applications — require an Ethernet interface. The ubiquity of Ethernet-enabled devices allows customers to simplify connecting large numbers of devices in automotive and robotic environments. Customers expect

robust performance

in the presence of interference and ESD events, along with processing offload capabilities. The low-cost migration from CAN to Ethernet presents unique challenges requiring interdisciplinary skills with aggressive cost and power targets.

FPD-Link Group:

The proprietary

FPD-Link interface

addresses

multi-gigabit (up to 20 Gbps)

automotive and industrial sensor and display markets. Constant increase in density of electronic sensing and display content is pushing data rate (>20 Gbps) and BER performance requirements higher. Automotive functional safety requirements demand robust performance at these high data rates under challenging environments while maintaining low power consumption.

The Broader Mission:

As part of this product group, you will be engaged in designing solutions spanning

Analog, Digital, and Signal Processing domains

to mitigate impairments such as high channel loss, ESD strikes, and narrowband interference. The team implements high-performance equalization circuits (CTLE, FFE, DFE), high-speed converters (DAC, ADC), high-speed digital front-ends, signal processing algorithms, embedded microcontrollers,



and high-speed interfaces for camera and display systems. The team has successfully achieved several

differentiated innovations

through collaborative cross-domain optimization.

The

entire product lifecycle

— from product specification to customer and application support — is owned by the product group in

Bangalore , giving each team member tremendous learning opportunity and enhanced scope to

influence the global success of the product . We are looking for

passionate, creative, and self-driven engineers

who challenge traditional techniques and come up with innovative solutions to make a difference.
