NXP was formerly the semiconductor business of Philips. It was separated into an independent company in 2006 and listed on the Nasdaq Stock Exchange in August 2010. After NXP acquired Freescale Semiconductor in the United States in December 2015, it has gradually become a leader in the automotive semiconductor and general-purpose microcontroller market.
