In September of 1971, TI finished the design for their {{ti|TMS0100}} single-chip calculators. Designs where done by the [[Texas Instruments]] engineers Gary Boone and Michael Cochran. Based on their design of the {{ti|TMX1795}}, Gary patented the invention for a single-chip processing machine on Aug 31, 1971. On Sep 4 1973, he was awarded [http://www.google.com/patents/US3757306 U.S. Patent 3,757,306]. Building on top of their experiences with the {{ti|TMS0100}} and Boone's [[8-bit architecture|8-bit]] microprocessor prototype they went on to design the 4-bit TMS1000 microcontroller series. Boone was later awarded [https://www.google.com/patents/US4074351 U.S. Patent 4,074,351] for the modern microcontroller.

After being slightly refined, the chip was released to general market in 1974. A few dozen different variations were created with various ROM and RAM sizes. Due to its cheap price, the TMS1000 family enjoyed a tremendous success in consumer electronics.
