Crutcher added that TI's own chip manufacturing teams have been pushing equipment suppliers to make their machinery smarter. "We want it to tell us sooner if there's an issue with the [chip] wafer that's going through that machine," he said as an example. Fellow analog chip and microcontroller (MCU) suppliers such as Analog Devices (ADI) and Microchip (MCHP) also have strong industrial exposure.

Though concerns have been raised that the analog and MCU markets are at risk of seeing an inventory correction (they haven't had a major one in a while), given signs of excessive ordering and stretched lead times, TI and STMicro's numbers suggest conditions remain good for now. That's particularly true in industrial and auto markets where trends such as factory automation, ADAS adoption and electric/hybrid car sales are boosting chip demand. Several other analog/MCU firms, including Microchip (MCHP) , ON Semiconductor (ON) , Maxim Integrated (MXIM) and NXP Semiconductors (NXPI) , will be reporting soon.
