Freescale Semiconductor Holdings V, Inc.

Freescale Semiconductor Holdings V, Inc. is a Delaware corporation and an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of NXP Semiconductors N.V. (NASDAQ: NXPI), held through NXP B.V. It has no separate public listing or independent reporting. The entity was created as part of NXP's acquisition of Freescale Semiconductor, Ltd. (NYSE: FSL), completed December 7, 2015, under which Holdings V became the surviving corporation and successor-in-interest to Freescale Semiconductor, Ltd. The legacy Freescale business was headquartered at 6501 William Cannon Drive West, Austin, Texas, was spun out of Motorola in 2006, and completed an IPO in 2011; at the time of the merger it reported roughly 17,000–17,500 employees and 2014 revenue of about $4.6 billion.

Operations. The legacy Freescale business designed and sold high-performance mixed-signal semiconductors. Its principal lines were microcontrollers and general-purpose MCUs, automotive semiconductors (infotainment, ADAS, in-vehicle networking, powertrain), communications/infrastructure processors and networking chips, analog and power-management ICs, sensors, and RF components. NXP described the combined company as the market leader in automotive semiconductors and general-purpose MCUs. Freescale Semiconductor, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Holdings V, holds shares in Everspin Technologies; other subsidiaries include SigmaTel LLC. Holdings V itself is a post-merger holding entity rather than an operating unit.

Litigation posture. The structured data shows one tracked case, with the company as defendant and zero as plaintiff — consistent with an operating company/parent-group affiliate being attacked rather than asserting patents. No NPE-type plaintiff activity is recorded for this entity.

Notable case. In HD Silicon Solutions LLC v. NXP USA, Inc. et al. (No. 1:25-cv-01320), filed August 19, 2025 in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas, Austin Division, HD Silicon Solutions LLC named NXP USA, Inc., NXP Semiconductors N.V., Freescale Semiconductor Holdings V, Inc., and others as defendants and demanded a jury. HD Silicon Solutions is a patent-assertion entity (formerly associated with the name Innovative Silicon Solutions) that has asserted semiconductor process and programmable-logic patents originating with Cypress Semiconductor, including in an earlier suit against Microchip Technology. The patents in the Microchip matter concerned integrated-circuit interconnect and programmable-logic-device architectures.
