Most of the semiconductor division (but not micros and some other high-tech
products) was spun off as "ON Semiconductor Corp". Later, the rest was spun
off as Freescale.

So, if you're looking for a Dragonball processor or HC08, it's Freescale.
If you want a 2N4401, it's On Semiconductor.

Looks like they took some nice stuff out of the core to make it more
like  PICs. 8-(  The multiply instruction is very useful for indexed
addressing in data tables (not so much for mathematical operations). The
overflow flag is gone. Of course you can still do lots of things, but
I don't know why you'd prefer to use that part rather than Microchip,
Atmel or some other maker. It probably isn't as bad as the execrable
HC04 though. Their peripherals tend to be pretty good and bug-free.
