Freescale's fabs in the U.S. are all very old (like early 1990's old). AFAIK they only manufacture analog and MEMS type stuff there. I think TSMC manufactures their MCU, MPU's, and most other digital electronics. This is the 'fab-lite' model.

Thanks for the info. I'll try to double-check mine on that. :)
