TI-35
Encyclopedia
Texas Instruments TI-35 was a series of scientific calculator
s by Texas Instruments
. The original TI-35 was notable for being one of Texas Instruments' first use of CMOS
controller chips in their designs, and was at the time distinguished from the lower-end TI-30
line by the addition of some statistics
functions.
It used TP0324-4N processor (CMOS variant of TMS1000 family).
The display can handle 8 digits (5 digit mantissa
with a 2-digit exponent) with 11-digit internal precision.
It was manufactured in the USA.
Cosmetic updates, include silver shell and new keyboard styling.
It was manufactured in the USA.
Solar version was called TI-35 GALAXY SOLAR.
It used TP0456A or CD4557 processor.
It was originally built in Taiwan, but later in Italy and USA.
It added hexadecimal
and octal
calculations and a 10+2 display (i.e. 10 digit mantissa
with a 2-digit exponent) with 12-digit internal precision.
. The cosmetics were updated in 1993.

TI-35 (1979)
It was built with the slimline design as the 1978 TI-50, but with different processor and slightly changed feature set.It used TP0324-4N processor (CMOS variant of TMS1000 family).

TI-35 GALAXY (1984)
It is a horizontal variant, but the functionality was identical to the European 1984 TI-30 GALAXY.Solar version was called TI-35 GALAXY SOLAR.
TI-35 II (1984)
It is a replacement for the 1979 TI-35.It used TP0456A or CD4557 processor.
It was originally built in Taiwan, but later in Italy and USA.
TI-35 PLUS (1986)
It added hexadecimal
Hexadecimal
In mathematics and computer science, hexadecimal is a positional numeral system with a radix, or base, of 16. It uses sixteen distinct symbols, most often the symbols 0–9 to represent values zero to nine, and A, B, C, D, E, F to represent values ten to fifteen...

TI-35X (1991)
The design was based on contemporary TI-68TI-68
The TI-68 was a scientific pocket/desktop calculator produced by Texas Instruments. It was introduced in 1989 and was modified in 1991 to a cheaper to produce and possibly more durable version. The picture to the right is the later version. It was discontinued in 2002.A wealth of features made it a...
