NXP USA, Inc — 2 prefixes (MA-L)
Summary
- // what this is
- NXP USA is registered to MAC prefix
10:96:1Dand 1 more in the IEEE OUI database. When a device's MAC address begins with10:96:1D, that block was registered by NXP USA — the OUI identifies the maker of the network hardware, which is not always the brand on the device. - // analyst note
- A MAC beginning 10:96:1D or 28:B2:0B is registered to NXP USA, Inc, the US operating entity of NXP Semiconductors following the 2015 Freescale merger; treat it as NXP-family semiconductor hardware (embedded, wireless-connectivity, or automotive) rather than a specific consumer device model, since no source pairs either block to a named product.
About this vendor.
A MAC address beginning 10:96:1D or 28:B2:0B is registered to NXP USA, Inc, the Austin, Texas-based US operating entity of NXP Semiconductors. It typically identifies NXP-family semiconductor hardware — a wireless-connectivity chip, an embedded processor, or an automotive controller — rather than a single finished consumer product.
NXP USA, Inc holds two IEEE MA-L blocks under that exact registrant string, both registered at 6501 William Cannon Dr. West, Austin, TX 78735: the former Freescale Semiconductor, Ltd. campus. NXP Semiconductors N.V. completed its roughly $40 billion acquisition of Freescale in December 2015, and NXP USA, Inc. is the US operating entity that continued at that site afterward.
The parent, NXP Semiconductors N.V. (NASDAQ: NXPI), is headquartered in Eindhoven, Netherlands, reporting around $12.27B in 2025 revenue and roughly 32,200 employees across automotive, industrial and IoT, mobile, and communications-infrastructure markets. Product families that generate device MAC addresses include Wi-Fi/Bluetooth connectivity combo chips, QN908x Bluetooth LE SoCs, i.MX applications processors (documented in a CISA industrial-control-system advisory), Kinetis and LPC microcontrollers, and S32 automotive processors.
No public source pairs either specific block to a named device model, so that narrower attribution stays Unknown. No third MA-M or MA-S block was found under the exact registrant string "NXP USA, Inc," and several other NXP-family legal entities hold separate MA-L blocks under different registrant names in the same registry — those are not counted as part of this entry.
