Encyclopedia > TI Circuit

The Tanaka International Circuit (TI Circuit) is a 2.301-mile private motorsport race track near Aida, Japan.


The course was built in 1992 as a private race track for the wealthy. It soon hosted its first race, staged by veteran British drivers (which explains the circuit's corner names, such as Hobbs and Attwood).


In 1994 and 1995, the TI Circuit hosted the Formula One Pacific Grand Prix; both events were won by Michael Schumacher in his early title-winning years. This race made Japan one of only five countries to ever host more than one Formula One event in the same year. It was discontinued primarily due to the circuit's extremely tight corners, and due to its location in a remote area of Japan.

The circuit is a Single-phase J-K Flip-flop with preset.
It was introduced by TI in October of 1964 in the metal flat package and in the third quarter of 1966 in the plastic dual-in-line package.
Because integrated circuits in the flatpack were dissimilar to existing packages, TI had to develop test boards to facilitate use of I/C's.
