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, has received its first order from Rood rood (r  d), crucifix mounted above the entrance to the chancel and flanked by large figures of the Virgin and St. Technology Deutschland GmbH + Co., the largest IC testing house in Germany. The order for a Duo system with Credence's industry leading analog instruments marks the first business between the two companies. Rood Technology will begin using the Credence system this month in production testing and quality engineering at its facility in Nordlingen, Germany. "Because we work with virtually all of Europe's semiconductor manufacturers, the products we test run the full spectrum from microcontrollers to telecommunication devices to automotive ICs. This made the Duo system's versatility in testing both digital and mixed-signal devices very attractive to us," said Dr. Anton Kotz, managing director of Rood Technology's Nordlingen plant. "This tool ensures our customers receive the fastest possible time-to-market for their advanced circuit designs." Credence's Duo xp, a 100 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. version of the popular Duo test system, is capable of testing up to 512 I/O channels See channel. , supporting either standard single socket tests or pin mapped multisite testing.
