AMI Semiconductor Picks Teradyne FLEX Test Platform for Automotive Devices.Leading automotive device manufacturer turns to Teradyne to meet quality standards NORTH READING, Mass. -- Teradyne, Inc. (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange : TER Third version. See bis. ), a world leader in high efficiency, low-cost test, announced AMI Semiconductor AMI Semiconductor is a company engaged the design and manufacture of customer specific integrated circuit solutions, including solutions for the automotive, medical and industrial markets. Among its products are products that integrate processing of analog and digital signals. (NASDAQ NASDAQ in full National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations U.S. market for over-the-counter securities. Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on : AMIS A·mis , Kingsley 1922-1995. British writer best known for his novels, including Lucky Jim (1954) and Jake's Thing (1978). ) has standardized on the Teradyne(R) FLEX(TM) test platform to test its industry leading automotive devices. As part of the agreement, AMIS purchased multiple microFLEX(TM) systems with DC90 and Precision Octal A numbering system that uses eight digits. It is used as a shorthand method for representing binary characters that use six-bits. Each three bits (half a character) is converted into a single octal digit. Okta is Greek for 8. Op-Amp Loop (POOL2) instrumentation for their Calamba, Philippines location and all test development centers world wide. AMIS, a top ten supplier of automotive power semiconductors, will use the FLEX test platform to test industrial and automotive devices used in a wide range of applications including stability control, in-vehicle networking, X-by wire and various power switching applications. "Automotive manufacturers look to produce devices at a zero parts per million parts per million mg/kg or ml/l; see ppm. defect rate. We chose Teradyne for our automotive device test needs because the FLEX platform delivers the accuracy and rigorous quality we need for our production test standards," said Craig Nelson, director, mixed signal test development, AMIS. "Our confidence in the test quality and multisite test capabilities give us a powerful combination of reliability and improved test economics - that's why we test with Teradyne." "Teradyne recognizes that automotive device manufacturers have specialized test needs around quality," said Eric Kaled, power and automotive segment manager, Semiconductor Test Division, Teradyne. "We continue to solidify our leadership in this important market segment with instrumentation on the FLEX Test Platform that delivers the quality and test accuracy an automotive semiconductor leader like AMIS requires." Teradyne's FLEX test platform, which has surpassed 1300 test systems shipped, advances test technologies in an architecture designed for high-efficiency, multisite test. The FLEX platform's DC90 option delivers both high voltage The term high voltage characterizes electrical circuits, in which the voltage used is the cause of particular safety concerns and insulation requirements. High voltage is used in electrical power distribution, in cathode ray tubes, to generate X-rays and particle beams, to and high current capability in an instrument with unparalleled density that reduces cost of test for automotive power management, industrial/consumer motor controller and power switch semiconductors. For the high parallel test requirements of the precision analog market segment, the POOL2 option provides six different multichannel Using two or more paths for transmission or processing. It can refer to a variety of architectures including (1) multiple I/O channels between the CPU and peripheral devices, (2) multiple wires in a cable, (3) multiple "logical" channels within a single wire or fiber or (4) multiple instruments integrated into a single instrument board. The POOL2 can make extremely low, accurate, and repeatable voltage, current and timing measurements not available with other instruments at the same level of density.
