Philips Semiconductors is Now NXP

The former semiconductor division of Philips is changing its name to NXP. The newly independent semiconductor company, NXP (founded by Philips), has a fifty-year history of providing engineers and designers with semiconductors and software that deliver better sensory experiences for mobile communications, consumer electronics, security applications, contactless payment and connectivity, and in-car entertainment and networking.

Building on its heritage in consumer research, significant R&D investment and world-class industry partners, NXP's "vibrant media technologies" allow consumers to enjoy better sensory experiences - brilliant images, crisp clear sound and easy sharing of information in homes, cars and mobile devices.

Of course, Keil will support all legacy Philips devices (under the new NXP name) and continue to add support for new NXP devices as they become available.

A complete list of NXP devices is available from:
