DRAFT 27 JULY 2010, OF OPINION TO BE RENDERED ON OR ABOUT THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT; SUBJECT TO REVIEW OF DOCUMENTS

Dear Madam / Sir:

NXP Semiconductors N.V. (the “Issuer”)

SEC Registration of common shares

1 Introduction

I act as Dutch legal adviser (advocaat) to the Issuer in connection with the Registration.

Certain terms used in this opinion are defined in Annex A (Definitions).

2 Dutch Law

This opinion is limited to Dutch law in effect on the date of this opinion. It (including all terms used in it) is to be construed in accordance with Dutch law.

3 Scope of Inquiry

For the purpose of this opinion, I have examined, and relied upon the accuracy of the factual statements and compliance with the undertakings included in, the following documents:

3.1 A copy of the Registration Statement.

De Brauw Blackstone Westbroek N.V., Amsterdam, is registered with the trade register in the Netherlands under no. 27171912.

All services and other work are carried out under an agreement of instruction (“overeenkomst van opdracht”) with De Brauw Blackstone Westbroek N.V. The agreement is subject to the General Conditions, which have been filed with the register of the District Court in Amsterdam and contain a limitation of liability. Client account notaries ING Bank no. 69.32.13.876.

3.2 A copy of:

(a) the Issuer’s deed of incorporation and its articles of association, as provided to me by the Chamber of Commerce;

(b) the Trade Register Extract; and

(c) the Shareholders Register.

3.3 A copy of:

(a) each Corporate Resolution; and

(b) the Board Certificate.

3.4 The form of:

(a) each Pricing Committee Resolution; and

(b) each Deed of Issue.

In addition, I have examined such documents, and performed such other investigations, as I considered necessary for purpose of this opinion. My examination has been limited to the text of the documents.

4 Assumptions

For the purpose of this opinion, I have made the following assumptions:

4.1

(a) Each copy document conforms to the original and each original is genuine and complete.

(b) Each signature is the genuine signature of the individual concerned.

4.2 The Shares will have been validly accepted by the subscribers for them.

2

5 Opinion

Based on the documents and my investigations referred to and the assumptions made in paragraphs 3 and 4 and subject to any matters not disclosed to me in the course of my investigation referred to in paragraph 3, I am of the following opinion:

5.1 When issued pursuant to a validly signed Deed of Issue and upon payment in accordance with that Deed of Issue, each Share will have been validly issued and will be fully paid and nonassessable.¹

6 Reliance

6.1 This opinion is an exhibit to the Registration Statement and may be relied upon for the purpose of the Registration. It may not be supplied, and its contents or existence may not be disclosed, to any person other than as an Exhibit to (and therefore together with) the Registration Statement and may not be relied upon for any purpose other than the Registration.

6.2 Each person relying on this opinion agrees, in so relying, that only De Brauw shall have any liability in connection with this opinion, and that, except as otherwise required by the Securities Act, the agreement in this paragraph 6.2 and all liability and other matters relating to this opinion shall be governed exclusively by Dutch law.

6.3 The Issuer may:

(a) file this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement; and

(b) refer to De Brauw giving this opinion under the heading “Legal Matters” in the prospectus included in the Registration Statement.

The previous sentence is no admittance from me (or De Brauw) that I am (or De Brauw is) in the category of persons whose consent for the filing and reference in that paragraph is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or any rules or regulations of the SEC promulgated under it.

Yours faithfully,

De Brauw Blackstone Westbroek N.V.

J.J.J. Schutte

¹ “Nonassessable” has no equivalent legal term under Dutch law and for the purpose of this opinion, “nonassessable” referred to in paragraph 5, means that no person has a right to require the holder of any Share to pay it any amount in addition to the amount required for the share to be fully paid (for the avoidance of doubt, without prejudice to claims based on tort (onrechtmatige daad)).
