Credence Delivers Duo VLSI Test Solution to Mitsui High-tec.FREMONT, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 23, 1997--Credence Systems Corporation (Nasdaq:CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) Pronounced "c-moss." The most widely used integrated circuit design. It is found in almost every electronic product from handheld devices to mainframes. ), a leading manufacturer of automatic test equipment (ATE) for the semiconductor industry, today announced the recent delivery of a Duo Analog Very Large Scale Integration (AVLSI AVLSI Advanced Very Large Scale Integration (Harris) ) Test System to Mitsui High-tec, one of the world's premiere high-quality lead-frame suppliers based in Kitakyushu, Japan. The Duo provides cost-effective, single-insertion test of Analog VLSI VLSI: see integrated circuit. (1) (Very Large Scale Integration) Between 100,000 and one million transistors on a chip. See SSI, MSI, LSI and ULSI. (2) (VLSI Technology, Inc., Tempe, AZ, www.semiconductors. devices which operate in the subthreshold sub·thresh·old adj. Psychology Not strong enough to be perceived or to produce a response. Used of a stimulus. region of the circuits. Fully compliant, integrated test head resources enable the Duo to accurately test the subthreshold transistor properties, while providing high thermal stability for vector, scalar scalar, quantity or number possessing only sign and magnitude, e.g., the real numbers (see number), in contrast to vectors and tensors; scalars obey the rules of elementary algebra. Many physical quantities have scalar values, e.g. and noise measurements. Credence specially configured its Duo system to optimize productivity for Mitsui's unique test challenges. With a digital pin count of 256 pins, expandable to 512 pins, the Duo's audio subsystem achieves 20 bit accuracy while the video subsystem ensures impedance-matched, fully-differential 16 GHz sampling. "Numerous semiconductor manufacturers use Credence's Duo systems while developing their advanced devices. They were anxious for us to acquire the Duo so we, in turn, can follow the same methodologies for volume test, assembly and packaging of their chips," said Toshiya Matsubara, senior managing director, Mitsui High-tec. "Now with our Duo in place, we are ready to perform 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 test on our customers' mixed-signal devices at our Kitakyushu facility." The Duo is a highly integrated compact test system that reduces power consumption, floor space and overall cost of ownership expenses. A true multimedia tester, the Duo's noise floor achieves 10 nV/root Hz through the audio and video spectrums. Allowing single-insertion testing of even the most complex of mixed-signal devices, Credence's Duo test solution enables manufacturers and assemblers This is a list of assemblers. Hundreds of assemblers have been written; some notable examples are:
"By delivering our Duo system, we are pleased to begin a working partnership with Mitsui High-tec," commented David Ranhoff, Credence's executive vice president. "Credence is focused on providing our customers with a strategic advantage. ATE needs to be flexible, reliable, robust and affordable. The Duo embodies what ATE was meant to be."
