Motorola is Motorola, and it makes cell phones and other system-level
stuff. But it has spun off not one, but two semiconductor companies: On
semiconductor got opamps, gates, discretes and other "commodity" semis,
Freescale semiconductor got microprocessors, DSPs and other "top end" stuff.

I can't remember who got the RF stuff; I think it Freescale but I always
have to look.
