shashib · x · 2026-08-29
NXP plans to launch the MCX A5 family in Q4 2026, bringing post-quantum cryptography to its lowest-cost industrial microcontrollers ahead of the EU Cyber Resilience Act's December 11, 2027 deadline. The move aims to protect companies from fines for shipping non-compliant devices. With $12.27B in 2025 revenue, NXP's new CEO Rafael Sotomayor, who led the Secure Connected Edge unit, is driving this security-focused strategy.
