 Sounds really bad.  Daniel Nenni's post was dated last
 August, do you know what's gone on since then?

I haven't heard anything here.  

There's a local NXP design center at Elliot and Loop 101... populated
by a bunch of pompous PhD's who can't handle Ohm's law... probably why
they're being sent to the chop shop >:-}

NXPs entire business unit "Standard Products" with its discrete waferfabs
(Hamburg, Manchester) as well as the Asian assembly centers will be carved
out into a new discrete semi company called "Nexperia", 100% owned by
Chinese investors. Nijmegen will be the only remining fab of NXP.  This will
happen before the NXP/Qualcomm merger, so Nijmegen will be the only fab
inherited by Qualcomm.

 I don't see a products or applications area with
 a name like that, at the NXP web site, what's in
 the "Standard Products" business unit?

Going through six months of press releases, an 
October 13, 2016 release had the best info.

"The NXP Standard Products business is an industry leading supplier of Discrete,
Logic and PowerMOS semiconductors focused on the Automotive, Industrial,
Computing, Consumer, and Wearable application markets.  At the close of the
transaction, the NXP Standard Products business will be branded Nexperia, which
will be headquartered in Nijmegen, the Netherlands.  For fiscal 2015, the NXP
Standard Products business had annual revenue of $1.2 billion."

Strange, that description sounds like it includes 
what Qualcomm is paying for.

"Under the agreement, the entire scope of the NXP Standard Products business,
including its management team, led by Frans Scheper, and approximately 11
thousand NXP employees will be transferred to Nexperia.  Nexperia will be an
independent company incorporated in the Netherlands, and will be fully owned
by JAC Capital and Wise Road Capital upon the close of the transaction.
Additionally, NXP’s Standard Product front end wafer fabs in Manchester, UK, and
Hamburg, Germany, and the back-end facilities in Guangdong, China, Seremban,
Malaysia, and Cabuyao, Philippines, will be transferred to Nexperia, as well as
the in-house equipment manufacturer ITEC and all relevant patents and
intellectual property associated with the Standard Products business."

That's 25% of NXPs 44,000 employees.  NXP posted revenue 
of $6.1 billion in 2015, so the $1.2B is about 20% of that.
I couldn't find any info on what NXP will be paid for this.

Perhaps Qualcomm is more interested in their RF (radios) and higher
integration and "software" stuff.  Sounds reasonable, considering
Qualcomm's other business.  I didn't see them as being interested in
transistors and diodes.  ;-)

yeah, Qualcomm can probably use NXP's NFC stuff, like Mifare...,

That's exactly how I see it. IMO it's no accident that the Qualcomm merger
was announced shortly after the ink on the Standard Products buy-out was dry.

 Selling 25% of the company is big, how come no
 mention to the stockholders of the $$ of the deal?

It's not 25%. I think BU SP is going for about $2bn and the
rest for $50bn.

 It's 25% of the employees and 20% of the revenue,
 according to their press release.  But whatever
 the terms of the SP sale, that accrues to NXP and
 is part of what Qualcomm gets for their payment,
 right?  And hence what the stockholders get.  But
 it seems too big a deal to not have full details.

I'm sure there are laws governing what stockholders have to get told about
and what not. In my double role as stockholder employee of NXP I'm pretty
happy about the deal -- because I work at an NXP waferfab that's part of the
business unit being sold off to JAC. Since Rick Clemmer became CEO of NXP,
he focused on the explosive growth of the newfangled Security and
Connectivity business, combined with a healthy dislike for BU SP where
people like me actually worked in factories. Slow and steady growth of an
old cash cow is not what he's interested in, but the Chinese are. Since the
announcement of the deal we've seen a surge in planned invest for tools and
fab space at our European sites. Staff from the soon-to-be Qualcomm part are
knocking at our door, looking for employment.

 well, Robert, I'm pleased to hear that.  I don't
 what products are in what group, but I suspect your
 SP group has the NXP stuff we like to purchase and
 that we rely on getting in the future.

The new Chinese-owned company is going to be named "Nexperia" (how boring),
and these are the products that are going to transition from NXP to
Nexperia:

Hmm, they don't list JFETs anywhere there.

That's right, and I don't understand it. I know NXP sells the great BF862,
but I don't know where it's made (not in one of their two discrete fabs),
it's not in their selection guides, you won't find it under "Applications"
nor under "Products" on the website. The website only admits to its
existence if you directly enter the type number in the search box.

I should try and find out sometime.
