graphing calculator made byTexas Instruments . It was originally designed in1995 to be used at a middle school level (grades 6-9).The TI-80 featured the smallest screen and slowest processor (980 kHz proprietary) of any TI graphing calculator. In comparison, the
TI-81 , released in1990 , featured a 2 MHzZilog Z80 processor. However, the TI-80 did feature 7 KB of RAM (compared with the TI-81's mere 2.4 KB). The TI-80 also had more built-in functions than the TI-81 (such as list and table functions, as well as fraction and decimal conversions). Like the TI-81, the TI-80 did not feature a link port. The TI-80 was also the only graphing calculator to use 2 CR2032 lithium batteries (instead of the standard 4 AAA batteries with a lithium backup battery).Since its release, it has been superseded by the superior
TI-73 andTI-73 Explorer . The TI-80 has been discontinued.ee also
