Freescale Accelerates Automotive Innovation with Industry's Largest Embedded Flash Array

  MPC5566 Microcontroller Built on Power Architecture(TM) Technology
           Integrates 3MB of Flash Memory for Sophisticated
                        Powertrain Applications

   Freescale Semiconductor (NYSE:FSL) (NYSE:FSL.B), the leading
provider of semiconductors to the automotive market, has achieved a
milestone in microcontroller (MCU) technology to help fuel innovation
in next-generation powertrain designs and other automotive control
applications. The company's flagship MPC55xx automotive controller
family built on Power Architecture(TM) technology now includes the
MPC5566 -- the first 32-bit MCU to integrate 3MB of flash memory.
   The MPC5566 microcontroller features the largest embedded flash
memory on an MCU in the industry today. By addressing the growing need
for more embedded memory in automotive applications, the MPC5566
enables developers to design more advanced powertrain engine control
systems that increase fuel efficiency and reduce harmful exhaust
emissions. Large on-chip flash arrays provide application developers
with a high-performance solution to support more sophisticated,
memory-intensive engine control functionality.
   "Powertrain applications are the harshest of automotive electronic
environments," said Mark Fitzgerald, an automotive electronics analyst
at Strategy Analytics. "Semiconductor suppliers who can deliver
reliable, high-performance microcontrollers that meet the demanding
performance and efficiency requirements of leading automotive
electronics manufacturers will be well positioned to succeed in the
powertrain market."
   The MPC5566 controller is Freescale's seventh device in the
MPC55xx family. The family is designed to provide significant
performance gains over today's controller solutions, while helping to
ensure a smooth migration path to higher-performance applications.
Members of this scalable family of powertrain controllers are pin- and
code-compatible, enabling reuse of code across multiple applications.
   "Freescale is the first to offer large flash arrays qualified for
automotive temperatures, and we've now delivered the industry's first
3-MB device," said Mike McCourt, vice president and general manager of
Freescale's microcontroller division. "Our leadership in automotive
and embedded flash technology is evident throughout our powertrain
controller portfolio. We continue to enhance our Power Architecture
platforms to give the automotive industry the technology it needs to
create next-generation powertrain, safety and telematics designs."
   The MPC55xx family is based on the power-efficient e200 core,
built on Power Architecture technology -- fast becoming the
industry-standard architecture for powertrain applications. In
February 2006, ST Microelectronics and Freescale announced a
collaboration agreement that outlines joint design of 32-bit
automotive MCUs based on Power Architecture technology, including
future 90-nm products with dual-source options available for these
devices. Additionally, General Motors announced in 2004 that it will
use the MPC55xx family in future GM powertrain engine control systems
around the world.
   As the No. 1 supplier of microcontrollers to the automotive
industry, Freescale continues to win powertrain designs and accolades.
At the 2006 International Engine of the Year Awards, Freescale
microcontrollers powered eight of the 12 winning engines.
