This TI-71 Electronic Digital Alarm Clock with its bright LED-display was introduced by Texas Instruments together with its sibling TI-70 already in 1974. While the TI-71 sports an alarm function, is the TI-70 a bare digital clock.

Both the TI-70 and TI-71 rely on the TMS3834 Digital Alarm Clock Chip and make use of an identical printed circuit board (PCB) with different options to distinguish between:

TI-70 (no Alarm) or TI-71 (Alarm)
50 Hz or 60 Hz operation
12-hour or 24-hour display format Hz
PM indicator or Flashing Colon
