         This Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D amends and supplements the
Schedule 13D originally filed on January 5, 1998 (the "Schedule 13D") by Texas
Instruments Incorporated, a Delaware corporation ("Parent"), and DSL
Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("Purchaser"), relating to the
tender offer (the "Offer") by Purchaser to purchase all outstanding shares of
common stock, par value $.20 per share (the "Shares"), of Amati Communications
Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), at $20.00 per Share, net
to the seller in cash, without interest, on the terms and subject to the
conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase dated November 25, 1997 and in
the related Letter of Transmittal.  The Offer was made pursuant to an Agreement
and Plan of Merger dated as of November 19, 1997 (the "Merger Agreement") by
and among the Company, Purchaser and Parent.  Capitalized terms not defined
herein have the meanings assigned thereto in the Merger Agreement, which is
attached as Exhibit 99(c)(1) to Parent's Schedule 14D-1 filed on November 25,
1997.

         In connection with the foregoing, Purchaser and Parent hereby amend
and supplement the Schedule 13D as follows:


ITEM 5.  INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF ISSUER

         Items 5(a) - (c) and (e) are hereby amended and supplemented by the
addition of the following paragraphs hereto:

         (a) - (b)        The information set forth in rows 7 through 11 of
each Cover Page of this Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D is incorporated herein
by reference.       

         (c)              On February 27, 1998, pursuant to the terms and
conditions of the Merger Agreement, Purchaser was merged with and into the
Company such that the Company became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent, and
Purchaser ceased to exist as an independent entity (the "Merger").  Each Share
issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than
Shares owned by Parent, Purchaser or any wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent, or
Shares held by dissenting stockholders who properly exercised and perfected
their appraisal rights under Section 262 of the General Corporation Law of the
State of Delaware) was, by virtue of the Merger, converted into the right to
receive $20.00 in cash.  Each Share held by Parent, Purchaser or any
wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent immediately prior to the Effective Time was,
by virtue of the Merger, cancelled and retired and ceased to exist.
Simultaneously, each share of the common stock, par value $.01 per share, of
Purchaser was, by virtue of the Merger, converted into one share of the common
stock of the Company.  Accordingly, Parent owns 1,000 shares of the common
stock of the Company, which is 100% of the outstanding common stock thereof.
In addition, a Form 15 was filed with the Commission on February 27, 1998 in
order to deregister the common stock of the Company.  A press release relating
to the foregoing is filed as Exhibit 99.2 hereto and is incorporated herein by
reference.

         (e)              By virtue of the Merger, on February 27, 1998,
Purchaser ceased to exist and so is no longer a beneficial owner of the
Company.


ITEM 7.  MATERIALS TO BE FILED AS EXHIBITS

         Item 7 is hereby amended and supplemented by the addition of the
following exhibit thereto:

         Exhibit 99.2        Press Release issued by Parent dated 
                             February 27, 1998

belief, I certify that the information set forth in this statement is true,
complete and correct.

   TEXAS INSTRUMENTS CLOSES ACQUISITION OF AMATI COMMUNICATIONS CORPORATION

    Dallas (February 27, 1998) - Texas Instruments Incorporated (NYSE:TXN)
today completed its previously announced acquisition of Amati Communications
Corporation after a special meeting of Amati stockholders. The company was
Merged with TI's DSL Acquisition Corporation and is now a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Texas Instruments. TI previously acquired 77% of Amati's
outstanding shares through a tender offer consummated on December 24, 1997. All
outstanding shares not held by TI were converted in the merger into the right
to receive $20.00 per share in cash.

    This acquisition strengthens TI's position for providing digital signal
processing solutions for high-speed Internet connectivity and quality video
services. Amati is a world leader in digital modem technology, also known as
Digital Subscriber Line (xDSL), which lets ordinary phone lines transmit data
more than 100 times faster than today's 56K analog voiceband modems. Using TI's
digital signal processing technology, next generation modems will provide users
with faster, more reliable access to the Internet along with the ability to use
a single phone for simultaneous functions.

market, will combine to form the Datacom Business Unit of TI's Semiconductor 
Group.
