Alone, primary sources and sources affiliated with the subject of this article are not sufficient for an accurate encyclopedia article. Inc. (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange :A) today announced it will demonstrate a variety of semiconductor test systems that balance price with performance, creating valuable test solutions for China's burgeoning semiconductor industry. Agilent will demonstrate its test solutions in SOC test, wafer sort, and smart card IC test. CPU CPU in full central processing unit Principal component of a digital computer, composed of a control unit, an instruction-decoding unit, and an arithmetic-logic unit. test will be demonstrated on the Agilent 93000 C400e-model using China's first low-power, 400MHz (MegaHertZ) One million cycles per second. It is used to measure the transmission speed of electronic devices, including channels, buses and the computer's internal clock. A one-megahertz clock (1 MHz) means some number of bits (16, 32, 64, etc. , 32-bit CPU, the Arca II. In addition, the Agilent 4072B parametric tester will demonstrate its ability to test packaged devices. The company will also demonstrate the Agilent Versatest Model V3300, showcasing the platform's low-cost solution for contactless smart card A smart card that uses radio frequencies to provide a wireless connection to the reader. The transmission range is only a couple of inches, but allows the card to be quickly passed by a reader in applications such as secured entrances. See smart card and UltraCard. ICs using CIDC's (China Integrated Circuit integrated circuit (IC), electronic circuit built on a semiconductor substrate, usually one of single-crystal silicon. The circuit, often called a chip, is packaged in a hermetically sealed case or a nonhermetic plastic capsule, with leads extending from it for Design Centre) new contactless smart card IC. Asia represents a significant growth opportunity for semiconductor manufacturing, with China accounting for the largest portion of the Asian market. Agilent began cultivating the Chinese semiconductor market more than 10 years ago and is now recognized as a valuable partner to China's developing high tech industries. "With appreciation and recognition of Agilent's contributions toward accelerating technical development of China semiconductor industries, I look forward to Agilent's business expansion and continued collaboration with domestic partners," said Liu Zhihua, senior economist, vice mayor of The People's Government of Beijing Municipality, and office director of the Leading Group for the Construction of Zhongguancun Science Park. "With Agilent's professional testing support, I am confident that we will elevate integrated circuit design and volume production quality in China, as well as shorten time to market for our country's new semiconductor products." Agilent's portfolio of test platforms offers the most dynamic solutions for the emerging test needs of China's semiconductor industry. The scalability of Agilent's test platforms enables a variety of performance configurations featuring different capabilities and prices, in addition to easy upgrades for future test needs. The broad application coverage of Agilent's test systems further reduces capital expense by testing different devices on the same platform. In addition to supporting the region's vigorous business growth, Agilent also opened the Shanghai Application Development Center in July 2002 to advance software development, as well as facilitate the continued education of local professionals in the semiconductor arena. "The Chinese semiconductor industry is growing rapidly, and Agilent is riding that wave of growth with new test solutions designed to provide a high degree of value to our Chinese customers," said David Huang, vice president and Global SubContract sub·con·tract n. A contract that assigns some of the obligations of a prior contract to another party. intr. & tr.v. sub·con·tract·ed, sub·con·tract·ing, sub·con·tracts Manufacturing general manager, Agilent Technologies. "Our installed base in Chinese semiconductor companies is proof that we're delivering to meet the needs of this growth market. We'll continue to work closely with our customers in China to support their test projects and enhance the performance of their Agilent test systems to help ensure fast time to market and low cost of test."
