Freescale Semiconductor Israel Ltd. • FIL was established in 1982 as Motorola Semiconductors Israel • We are going through a major • Change these days (a year long • transition that will end in Q4/13) • I will note those activities that are • ramping down • Total number of employees is going down from 480 to 220 by the end of 2013
Networking and Data Communication Started this business for Freescale (Motorola) more than 20 years ago. For many years was the only design center in Freescale developing this product line (and one of the only in the industry) Developing all IP, accelerators, SoC and embedded SW Drivers. From product definition , architecture, design through testing and qualification support. This business is the main business that remains in Israel long term

DSP and Wireless infrastructure Developed all of Freescale’s (& Motorola) DSPs Our DSP’s were the basis for the wireless handset business (that is no longer part of Freescale portfolio) These days the team is focusing on completing the latest DSP core and building the highest performing SOC for wireless base-stations (B4860) Product defined and developed in Israel are used across all this product line from femto cell to macro cell base station. In addition to the DSP itself the team develops also the modem IP accelerator(s) and the L1 SW This activity will significantly ramp down in Israel during 2013. Since the company decided to stop developing new DSP and SoC’s for Macro base stations
Femto to Macro: Wireless Product Portfolio Macro SoC • Thousands of users • Supports multiple standards • Based on QorIQQonverge Metro SoC • Hundreds of users • Supports multiple standards Pico SoC • 32-64 users(LTE (FDD, TDD), WCDMA) & multimode • 2 MPU + 2 DSP + Wireless accelerators Femto SoC • 8-16 users (LTE (FDD, TDD), WCDMA, CDMAx) & multimode • 1 MPU + 1 DSP + Wireless accelerators 45nm 28nm 28nm
ARM based Application processors (i.MX) Developed all of Freescale’s i.MX high end application processors - Next slides shows the typical application use cases This activity will shut down in Israel during 2013 – most of the design team move the newly established AMD design center
