MRF21125 Rev 5
Freescale has begun the transition of marking Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) with the Freescale Semiconductor
signature/logo. PCBs may have either Motorola or Freescale markings during the transition period. These changes will have
no impact on form, fit or function of the current product.
