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. Platinum Sponsors:
