Ladies and Gentlemen:

     We have acted as counsel to Conexant Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation
("Conexant"), and each of the guarantors listed on Schedule A hereto (such
guarantors are hereinafter referred to as the "Guarantors" and the Guarantors,
together with Conexant are, hereinafter referred to as the "Registrants") in
connection with the offer to exchange (the "Exchange Offer") $275,000,000
aggregate principal amount of Floating Rate Senior Secured Notes due 2010 (the
"New Notes") which are being registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "Securities Act"), for all of Conexant's outstanding unregistered
Floating Rate Senior Secured Notes due 2010 ("Old Notes"), and in connection
with the preparation of the prospectus (the "Prospectus") contained in the
Registration Statement on Form S-4 (the "Registration Statement") filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission by the Registrants for the purpose of
registering under the Securities Act the New Notes and the guarantees of the
Guarantors of the New Notes. Unless otherwise defined herein, terms defined in
the Prospectus are used herein as defined therein.

     In connection with this opinion, we have examined the Registration
Statement and such other documents and corporate records as we have deemed
necessary or appropriate in order to enable us to render the opinion below. We
have relied upon statements, representations and covenants made by Conexant and
the Guarantors, and the facts, representations, assumptions and other
information stated in the Prospectus, and such other documents as we have deemed
appropriate, and we have assumed that such statements and representations are
true without regard to any qualifications as to knowledge, belief, materiality
or substantiality. For purposes of this opinion, we have assumed (i) the
validity and accuracy of the documents and corporate records that we have
examined and the facts, representations and covenants concerning the Exchange
Offer that have come to our attention during our engagement, and (ii) that all
of the transactions contemplated by the Exchange Offer will be consummated in
accordance with the terms and conditions thereof as described in the Prospectus
(and that no transaction or condition stated therein and material to this
opinion will be waived by any party). Our opinion is conditioned upon, among
other things, the initial and continuing truth, accuracy, validity and
completeness of the items described above on which we are relying.

     Based upon the foregoing, and subject to the qualifications and other
limitations set forth herein and in the Registration Statement, we hereby advise
you that in our opinion, the



Conexant Systems, Inc.                 -2-                     February 26, 2007




statements in the Prospectus under the caption "Material U.S. Federal Income Tax
Considerations" (the "Discussion") sets forth the material U.S. federal income
tax consequences to beneficial owners of Old Notes acquiring New Notes in the
Exchange Offer and to beneficial owners of New Notes of owning and disposing of
the New Notes. We express no opinion as to whether the Discussion addresses all
of the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Exchange Offer or of the
ownership or disposal of New Notes. No opinion is expressed on any matters other
than those specifically addressed herein. Further, there can be no assurances
that the opinion expressed herein will be accepted by the Internal Revenue
Service (the "IRS") or, if challenged, by a court.

     In rendering our opinion, we have considered the applicable provisions of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, Treasury Department regulations
promulgated thereunder, pertinent judicial authorities, interpretive rulings of
the IRS and such other authorities as we have considered relevant. It should be
noted that statutes, regulations, judicial decisions and administrative
interpretations are subject to change at any time (possibly with retroactive
effect). A change in the authorities or the accuracy or completeness of any of
the facts, information, documents, corporate records, covenants, statements,
representations or assumptions on which our opinion is based could affect our
conclusions.

     Our opinion is not intended to be, nor should it be construed to be,
specific tax advice to any holder of Old Notes or New Notes. Accordingly, each
such holder is urged to consult with his or her own tax advisor as to the
specific tax consequences to him or her of the Exchange Offer or of the
ownership or disposal of New Notes.

     We hereby consent to the reference to us and our opinion in the
Registration Statement and to the filing of this opinion as an Exhibit to the
Registration Statement. We also consent to the reference to this firm under the
captions "Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations" and "Legal Matters"
in the Prospectus constituting a part of the Registration Statement. In giving
this consent, we do not hereby admit that we are in the category of persons for
whom consent is required by Section 7 the Securities Act and the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission promulgated thereunder.



                                                      Very truly yours,

                                                      /s/ CHADBOURNE & PARKE LLP
