Motorola was established in 1928. The company created numerous products, but in the context of the Computer History Wiki the most interesting products were produced by the semiconductor division.

* [[MC6800|6800]] 8-bit microprocessor, in [[1974]]
* [[MC6800|68000]] 16/32-bit microprosessor, in [[1980]]

Motorola also produced all kinds of [[TTL]], transistor-transistor logic integrated circuits. Motorola was also the first vendor to produce integrated circuits based on [[ECL]], emitter-coupled logic, a process originally invented by [[IBM]].

The original Motorola company was split in 2011. The semiconductor division was separated out before that, into On Semiconductor in 199.
