'''Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.''' was an American [[semiconductor]] manufacturer. It was created by the divestiture of the Semiconductor Products Sector of [[Motorola]] in 2004.  Freescale focused their [[integrated circuit]] products on the automotive, [[embedded system|embedded]] and communications markets. It was bought by a private investor group in 2006, and subsequently merged with [[NXP Semiconductors]] in 2015.<ref>[http://www.rttnews.com/2588463/nxp-semiconductors-and-freescale-semiconductor-close-merger.aspx NXP Semiconductors And Freescale Semiconductor Close Merger] RTTNews.
