#157258 - Only very roughly indeed...

... roughly said, most of the semiconductor manufacturers use the subsequent scheme (example is your 1.)

Only very loosely - remember, there is absolutely no formal standardisation whatsoever.

1. prefix, denoting manufacturer1 - P is for Philips

That is to say, Philips have taken their initial 'P' to use as a prefix on their part numbers - this does not mean that you can assume that any part number beginning with 'P' is a Philips part.

Of course, Philips is now NXP - but they continue to use 'P' in their part numbers. There are plenty of other such "anomolies" of historical origin; eg, "MC..." parts from Freescale...
