Freescale (NYSE:FSLB)
Historical Stock Chart
From Mar 2020 to Mar 2025

By the end of 2006, Freescale Semiconductor (NYSE:FSL) (NYSE:FSL.B)
expects to reach 125 million total units of radio frequency (RF)
modulators shipped over a five year period. Since ramping production in
2002, Freescale has continued to invest in low power modulators for
multiple consumer media applications, placing the company among the
industry leaders in modulator supply.
According to an Oct. 2006 report published by analyst firm iSuppli, the
markets for consumer media applications such as set top boxes, DTV,
DVD-R and game consoles will experience compound annual growth rates
between 10 and more than 30 percent over the next four years. At the
high end, DVD-R is projected to grow 30.2 percent and DTV is expected to
grow 25.6 percent by 2010.
“We’ve seen a huge
growth spurt this year as our products are rapidly being adopted into
the many digital multimedia applications found in the home,”
said Ritu Favre, application specific product operations manager for
Freescale’s Networking and Computing Systems
Group. “Realizing that these applications all
need one or more RF modulators, we will continue to invest in this
technology to help secure our RF leadership and to help ensure customers
have the latest technological advances.”
RF modulator products
RF modulators convert audio and video signals into radio frequency waves
that are suitable for reception by standard UHF tuners and are integral
to many digital-home consumer applications. Across the world,
applications such as set top boxes, game consoles, televisions, DTV,
DVD-R and cable modems contain Freescale RF low power modulators.
Freescale has been selling RF modulators based on BiCMOS™
technology since the late 1990s. Freescale’s
current modulator products offer a low voltage supply current (5V) and
are PLL tuned with integrated VCOs and cover UHF/VHF TV bands.
Modulators allow for one cable connection of AV equipment to
televisions. The company expects to continue investing in its roadmap to
meet market demand.
