Standard Products
Our Standard Products business supplies a broad range of standard semiconductor components, such as small signal discretes,
power discretes and integrated discretes, which we largely produce in dedicated in-house high-volume manufacturing
operations. Our Standard Products are often sold as separate components, but in many cases, are used in conjunction with our
High Performance Mixed Signal solutions, often within the same subsystems.

Our solutions
The NXP Solution
We design and manufacture High Performance Mixed
Signal semiconductor solutions to meet the challenging
requirements of systems and sub-systems in our target
markets. High Performance Mixed Signal solutions are an
optimized mix of analog and digital functionality integrated
into a system or sub-system. These solutions are fine-tuned to
meet the specific performance, cost, power, size and quality
requirements of applications.
High Performance Mixed Signal solutions alleviate the need
for OEMs to possess substantial system, sub-system and
component-level design expertise required to integrate
discrete components into an advanced fully functional system.
We have what we believe is an increasingly uncommon
combination of capabilities in this area -our broad range
of analog and digital technologies, application insights
and world-class process technology and manufacturing
capabilities- to provide our customers with differentiated
solutions that serve their critical requirements. Customers
often engage with us early, which allows us to hone our
understanding of their application requirements and future
product roadmaps and to become an integral partner in their
system design process
Our Strengths
We believe we have a number of strengths that create the
opportunity for us to be a leader in our target markets. Some
of these strengths include:
Market-leading products
In 2011, the majority of our sales were generated by products
for which we held the number one or number two market
position based on product sales.
Large base of experienced engineers and strong intellectual
property portfolio
We have what we believe is one of the industry’s largest pools
of experienced High Performance Mixed Signal engineers. In
addition, we have an extensive intellectual property portfolio
of approximately 11,000 issued and pending patents covering
the key technologies used in our target application areas.
Deep applications expertise
We have built, and continue to build, through our relationships
with leading OEMs and through internal development efforts
in our advanced systems lab, deep insight into the component
requirements and architectural challenges of electronic
system solutions in our target end-market applications,
thereby enhancing our engagement in our customers’ product
platforms.
Strong, well-established customer relationships
We have strong, well-established relationships with almost
every major automotive, identification, mobile handset,
consumer electronics, mobile base station and lighting
supplier in the world.
Differentiated process technologies and competitive
manufacturing
We focus our internal and joint venture wafer manufacturing
operations on running a portfolio of proprietary specialty
process technologies that enable us to differentiate our
products on key performance features. By concentrating our
manufacturing activities and by significantly streamlining our
operations, we believe we have a competitive manufacturing
base.

Research and Development
We believe that our future success depends on our ability
to both improve our existing products and to develop new
products for both existing and new markets. We direct our
research and development efforts largely to the development
of new High Performance Mixed Signal semiconductor
solutions where we see significant opportunities for growth.
We target applications that require stringent overall system
and subsystem performance. As new and challenging
applications proliferate, we believe that many of these
applications will benefit from our solutions. We have
assembled a team of highly skilled semiconductor and
embedded software design engineers with expertise in RF,
analog, power management, interface, security and digital
processing.
Corporate Social Responsibility
NXP believes taking responsibility for its impact on the world
is fundamental to the company’s success and its ability to
