201701010G : Change to Intermediate Container Logo & Intermediate Barcode Label

As announced in the Freescale General Announcement 17200 on December 7 2015 Freescale Semiconductor Inc. became a wholly owned subsidiary of NXP Semiconductors N.V. As a result on February 7th 2017 NXP will begin shipping products in intermediate containers that will be identified using the NXP Logo and Graphics as a replacement for the Freescale Logo and Graphics. The transition will continue until all Freescale Logo and Graphics finished product inventories are consumed in NXP warehouse stocks.In addition to the above we will also be making the following changes to the intermediate barcode label for all NXP customers:> To support international trade compliance requirements a change is necessitated to call out the "Country of Origin" based on the country of final manufacturing. This would be a cosmetic change only and does not impact the form fit or function of the label. > The first character for the Product Origin field (32T) on the intermediate label will be changing to reference the country of origin (O) and will no longer identify if product is diffused in the European Union (Z) or outside the European Union (N). The remaining 3 numbers to identify the "Country of Origin" will remain unchanged.
