Credence Introduces New Configuration of High Pin Count ValStar Series Test System; VS 2000e Extends High-Volume Production Capabilities.FREMONT, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 9, 1998--Credence Systems Corp. (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 :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. ), an international leader in the manufacture of automatic test equipment (ATE) for the semiconductor industry, today introduced the VS 2000e test system. A new, optional configuration of Credence's high pin count ValStar Series' VS 2000 test system, the VS 2000e will be unveiled at SEMICON SEMICON Semiconductors Equipment and Material International Conference West 98 in the San Jose San Jose, city, United States San Jose (sănəzā`, săn hōzā`), city (1990 pop. 782,248), seat of Santa Clara co., W central Calif.; founded 1777, inc. 1850. Convention Center on July 15 - 17 (Booth No. 11927). The industry's most cost effective, high-performance VLSI VLSI: see integrated circuit.

With its small size and flexible production interface, the VS 2000e allows manufacturers and assemblers to customize the configuration to suit their production requirements. Easily configured as an integrated solution for high-volume production facilities, the VS 2000e significantly improves operation efficiency and test floor productivity. The tight integration of the VS 2000e to the prober or handler dramatically reduces the test system floor space to less than three square meters. This new configuration also delivers greater flexibility for test cell layout and optimization of available space. These factors are critical for high-volume facilities requiring utmost efficiency and factory productivity. The VS 2000e matches all of the capabilities of the VS 2000 for testing of complex logic, embedded memory and embedded analog prevalent in today's most sophisticated high pin count VLSI chips. Specific applications include microprocessors, controllers, advanced chip sets, ASICs, and FPGAs. "Credence is taking a leadership role toward factory integration and production efficiency, while anticipating the manufacturing needs of today and tomorrow," said Gary Smith Gary Smith may refer to:
Credence's use of low-power stabilized CMOS technology packs the full 1024 I/O (Input/Output) The transfer of data between the CPU and a peripheral device. Every transfer is an output from one device and an input to another. See PC input/output. I/O - Input/Output pins and data rates of 200 MHz (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. into less than three square meters and consumes less than 16 kW of power, delivering the most cost effective test system in the industry. Combining 3 Gigabit Scan memory and a unique high speed Iddq measurement feature, the VS 2000e enables multisite testing of up to 16 devices in parallel to maximize production throughput of the most complex devices. The VS 2000e uniquely satisfies three essential requirements for today's advanced consumer products: performance, cost and time-to-market.
