  NXP Semiconductors NV said Wednesday (April 19) it sold its 27 percent remaining stake in Advanced Semiconductor Manufacturing Corp. Ltd. (ASMC), a chip foundry based in China.

  ASMC began as a joint venture in the late 1980s between the Chinese Government and Royal Philips Electronics NV , the Dutch giant that eventually spun off NXP.

  ASMC, originally known as Philips Semiconductor Shanghai, exclusively made chips for Philips for years. It has two 8-inch wafer fabs in Shanghai.

  NXP (Eindhovern, the Netherlands) said it sold its 421.45 million shares, representing 27.47 percent ownership of ASMIC, for $53.7 million to Shanghai Pudong Science and Technology Investment Co. Ltd.

  NXP is in the process of being acquired by U.S. chip giant Qualcomm Inc., a fabless company that relies solely on foundries for manufacturing of its chips. The divestiture of NXP's stake in ASMC may have been a step toward closing the deal or achieving regulatory compliance in China.

  Qualcomm said recently that the deal's waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino act had expired without any antitrust objections being raised by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission. The Qualcomm-NXP deal is expected to close by the end of this year.

Unlock New Possibilities with NXP NMH1000 Magnetic Switch
  Sensors collect critical data from the environment which can be turned into useful insights in almost every industry. But they have varying capabilities, reliability and levels of innovation which ultimately determine the experiences they can deliver. Our recently launched NMH1000 Magnetic Switch is designed to meet today’s market needs. It is a rare breed of magnetic sensor that replaces traditional bulky mechanical switches which are unsuitable for difficult environmental conditions. The three reasons to consider NHM1000 for your development include its distinctive features, flexible application and ability to easily onboard.  Distinctive Features of the NMH1000  The NMH1000 is most sensitive to the magnetic fields that vertically pass through the top-to-bottom surfaces. Input consists of a magnetic field ranging in strength from earth-bound background, up to maximum BGMAX. Its input processing consists of functional blocks such as a configurable state machine, analog-to-voltage conversion of the input and comparison to generate the output, arranged in linear succession.  The sensor detects the absence of a magnetic field and outputs either a high or low state upon comparison with preset thresholds. It operates down to 1.2V supply voltage, which ensures longer shelf life with ultra-low power consumption (75 nA typ. @ 1 Hz sample rate). And it comprises a small DFN package, making it easy to integrate in very small areas. The NMH1000 also supports two operation modes: the standalone mode and the I2C user mode. In the standalone mode, the sensor’s interface to its host is extremely simple, while the I2C provides a more sophisticated interface to extract additional functions.  Use Cases for the NMH1000  A key differentiator of the NMH1000 sensor is its flexibility. It can be used for medical, industrial, consumer and smart home applications. These include CGMs, continuous glucose monitoring, drug delivery devices such as a Smart Inhaler, electronic wake-up systems, gas and water flow applications, anti-tampering metering, reed switch replacement and alarm systems. The sensor can add new experiences to some of these applications. For example, the NHM1000 is handy in situations where smoke detectors are out of reach with no easy way to test their functionality. In this case, the sensor can be used with a telescoping magnet for testing from ground level. This can be done by positioning the magnet near the smoke detector to put it into test mode.  Another interesting use case of the NMH1000 is laptop power control. In this use case, a magnet is on the laptop monitor and the NMH1000 is on the keyboard. When the lid comes down, the magnet is close to the NMH1000, so its output will change state. This notifies the controller to switch off the display and disable the keyboard. And when the lid is opened, the magnet disappears and the NHM1000 will change the state to the other direction, telling the system to turn on the display and the keyboard.  Onboard Easily with NMH1000 Freedom Shield Evaluation Board  We developed the NMH1000 Freedom Shield Evaluation Board to help our customers evaluate the NMH1000 and kickstart their development speedily. The board can be connected easily to an NXP Freedom MCU board via the Arduino headers for evaluation. It has all the necessary headers, jumpers and signal test points to quickly evaluate the NMH1000 magnetic sensor.  Users can connect the two boards to evaluate the NMH1000 magnetic sensor. This is possible with either a terminal program using the NXP Component Library or a standalone mode use case. These evaluation boards provide an intuitive way to change between the sensor’s standalone modes and the I²C interface for communication through jumper selections. At the same time, they provide test points that are typically used for evaluation.

NXP Accelerates Secure eID Solutions with JCOP ID 2
  Advanced security features of JCOP ID 2 secure eID solution ensures personal identity documents remain secure for their expected lifespan.  NXP Accelerates Secure eID Solutions with JCOP ID 2 image  What’s New  NXP® Semiconductors has announced the JCOP® ID 2 secure eID solution, designed to help make personal identity documents more secure, while also complying with the most recent governmental requirements and supporting future changes. The JCOP ID 2 includes advanced security features designed to help governments protect the lifespan of personal identity documents.  Why It Matters  Personal identity documents are the foundation for interaction between people and their government, serving as a gateway to access government-provided services or care. These documents must be kept secure and up to date at all times during their issued validity period. JCOP ID 2 supports a secure mechanism to maintain the documents while in use. This mechanism allows governments to deploy security updates, as well as periodic assessments to maintain Common Criteria Certification, all without losing the user’s personalized details.  The JCOP ID 2 secure eID solution's new security features include Common Criteria EAL 6+ certified match-on-card for facial and fingerprint user authentication. It also ensures that documents will not need to be replaced earlier than the expiry date, securing the full lifetime of the documents.  More Details  Personal identity documents are how we authenticate ourselves to the world and protecting that information is essential. The advanced security features of JCOP ID 2 help keep personal data secure with dedicated update functionality to adapt to changing security requirements, increasing its robustness against an ever-evolving threat landscape and enabling personal identity documents to remain secure throughout long validity periods. The integration of the latest biometric authentication methods like facial- and fingerprint-based authentication provides added security and flexibility for customers.”  Christian Lackner, Senior Director Secure Payment & Identification, NXP  The JCOP ID 2 can be used in conjunction with thin packaging and inductive coupling technologies, which can help to increase flexibility to reduce cracks and therefore, the need for early replacements. A large memory of up to 450KB is available for applets and user data. The JCOP ID 2 delivers ultra-low power consumption and rapid transaction times. It also offers a SecureBox to accelerate time to market with independent customer development, management and loading of assets, featuring custom cryptographic algorithms and a native accelerator for non-standard protocols.
