This history of Freescale reported on Wikipedia seems very brief and does not cover the vast number of products that were carried over from the older Motorola Semiconductor Products Sector. Freescale inherited a huge portfolio in that spin-off.

More important is to document the business spiral downward created by the buy-out by private equity in 2006. The details and the high-level characters involved in that fateful decision have escaped any critique of their role. It is much like the history of HP.

The article is out of date regards the latest acquisition attempt by Qualcomm to buy-out NXP.

This reported history is pretty much a bland report that lacks all of the issues that started once dominant Motorola spun off Freescale. I lived this whole story having hired on to Motorola's Semiconductor Products Division back in 1973 and lasted through the whole history with Freescale when I retired in 2011. It was a long and instructional tale of how a great company can turn to crap if they abandon the founding father's goals and then bowing to shareholder greed.

This history needs to be told and names given for who orchestrated the eventual problems for Freescale (and the eventual demise of the parent company Motorola

I have info to share, but it needs to be verified and then coded into the history.
