TI is the owner of within Amazon . com Kindle Fire

Apart from a few hulking memory chips, Texas Instruments is the owner of the inside of Amazon's Amazon Kindle Fire.

iFixit's teardown shows a good amount of TI plastic, with expensive memory storage and system memory from Samsung and Hynix, correspondingly.

Bear in mind that the system-on-a-nick (SoC) like TI's OMAP 4430 already packs most of the core device features onto one bit of plastic. However the Amazon Kindle Fire also attaches numerous less glamorous TI chips towards the SoC for such things as energy management and audio.

Contributing to that disproportionately large battery. Some tips about what iFixit states: "Just one connector plus some glue bare this monstrous battery instead...the Fire's 4.6" tall x 4.3" wide Li-Ion battery. This battery sure creates... 16.28 Watt-hrs, to become exact. However, because of how big the fireplace, its battery's 3.7 V potential and 4400 mAh capacity don't quite compare towards the specs from the apple ipad 2 Wi-Fi's battery."
