Freescale Semiconductor, Inc. (NYSE:FSL)(NYSE:FSL.B):
Nearly 2,000 of the top innovators in the automotive, networking,
consumer, industrial and mobile communications markets have gathered
in Orlando, Florida, this week for the Freescale Technology Forum
(FTF). This second annual event brings together Freescale customers
and partners, media and analysts for 350 hours of technical sessions
and interactive technology demonstrations in the 28,000-square-foot
FTF TechLab.
"Our customers are building the ingenious products of tomorrow
using Freescale technology today," said Michel Mayer, chairman and
chief executive officer of Freescale. "We offer the right technologies
and solutions to help our customers continue to innovate and win in
tomorrow's fast-moving markets."
In the conference keynote address, Mayer will highlight the
pervasive innovation that Freescale is driving throughout the embedded
semiconductor industry.
On Wednesday, renowned broadcast journalist and CNN Senior Analyst
Jeff Greenfield will lead a lively executive exchange with Freescale
business leaders Sandeep Chennakeshu, Paul Grimme and David Perkins.
Former astronaut Neil Armstrong, the first human to walk on the moon,
will give the closing address on Thursday.
FTF runs through Thursday, July 27, 2006 at the JW Marriott and
Ritz-Carlton Conference Centers in Orlando, Fla.
Key Technologies
Engineers will have the opportunity for in-depth training and
hands-on demos with a number of embedded technologies such as:
MRAM
Analysts have hailed Freescale's commercialization of MRAM as the
most substantial breakthrough in memory chip technology so far in this
decade. At FTF, Freescale will demonstrate its MRAM technology, which
offers unlimited endurance and combines the non-volatility of FLASH
with the speed of SRAM in a single device.
i.MX Applications Processor Family
Freescale has the most powerful and efficient applications
processor in the world for mobile devices, the i.MX architecture. On
Tuesday, Freescale will introduce the latest member of this mobile
multimedia family, moving another step closer to true high definition
video for mobile devices.
Power Architecture(TM) Technology
Power.org - the open, collaborative community behind Power
Architecture technology - has unveiled a new, unified instruction set
architecture, reference design and streamlined brand identity. These
achievements represent a major milestone for Power.org and the world's
leading embedded processing architecture, which is at the heart of
Freescale's networking, communications and automotive processors.
Advanced PowerQUICC(TM) III Architecture
Freescale envisions a world in which high-performance, secure
networks are available to everyone. To help make this vision a
reality, Freescale has developed an innovative, multicore PowerQUICC
III processor, architecture built on Power Architecture technology,
that handles control/data plane and application-aware content
processing, deep packet inspection, pattern matching and encryption
acceleration - all at multi-Gigabit speeds.
WiMAX Platform Solution
WiMAX technology is gaining momentum in all world regions.
Freescale is addressing the market opportunity with a turnkey
reference platform for WiMAX-capable residential and business
gateways. The standards-compliant platform is based on cost-effective
PowerQUICC(TM) processors, as well as software and chipsets from
Wavesat.
Controller Continuum from 8-bit to 32-bit
Introduced in first quarter 2006, Freescale's Controller Continuum
for consumer and industrial applications features an 8- to 32-bit
roadmap with pin-for-pin compatible devices that will share common
peripherals and development tools. With the recent introduction of the
8-bit RS08KA family, Freescale provided an ultra-low-end entry point
to the Controller Continuum, and ColdFire(R) embedded processor
product introductions continue to increase access to 32-bit
performance.
Class D Amplifier
Responding to the technical challenges that traditionally have
been associated with Class D amplifiers, Freescale's new Symphony
Class D amplifier delivers a high fidelity system solution. The
digital amplifier features an innovative digital feedback technology
that brings audio performance of Class D amplifiers to a previously
unattainable level. This Class D product extends Freescale's broad
Symphony portfolio of semiconductors for audio applications, giving
designers a complete, digital audio solution.
MRAM
Analysts have hailed Freescale's commercialization of MRAM as the
most substantial breakthrough in memory chip technology so far in this
decade. At FTF, Freescale will demonstrate its MRAM technology, which
offers unlimited endurance and combines the non-volatility of FLASH
with the speed of SRAM in a single device.
