Motorola

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.

• 6800 8-bit microprocessor, in 1974
• 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.
