Freescale is a pioneer of the global semiconductor industry. Our rich history of embedded solutions goes back more than 50 years to 1948 when we were a division of Motorola. In 1955, we delivered the world's first commercial high-power transistor, a germanium transistor for car radios, and our first mass-produced semiconductor. From this fundamental building block of modern electronics, we have never stopped inventing.
We're driven by the exciting evolution of the digital marketplace, and by the embedded challenges our customers face every day. We're relentless researchers, investing more than $780 million annually on R&D–that's over 17% of our total revenue. In addition, our intellectual property portfolio contains more than 6,100 patent families. All evidence of our passion for pursuing innovation.
