Freescale tops $1 billion in sales of automotive microcontrollers
Freescale Semiconductor has shipped more than $1 billion in flash-based, 32-bit automotive microcontrollers (MCUs) built on Power Architecture technology.
The company achieved this significant milestone in just seven years after launching its first Power Architecture MCU designed for the demanding quality, power and performance requirements of automotive applications.
"Surpassing this $1 billion mark is a testament to Freescale's strong global customer relationships and the broad market adoption of our 32-bit automotive MCU portfolio," said Ray Cornyn, Freescale's automotive MCU operations manager. "As a supplier of automotive MCUs, we continue to evolve our portfolio to meet customer needs for zero-defect quality, industry-leading flash-based performance and support for critical standards, such as FlexRay technology and automotive open system architecture (AUTOSAR)."
