IMS Announces the Sale of a Vanguard Logic IC Validation System to National Semiconductor.Business Editors, Technology Writers BEAVERTON, Ore.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 19,2000 Integrated Measurement Systems, Inc., (Nasdaq:IMSC IMSC Integrated Media Systems Center (University of Southern California) IMSC Information Management Steering Committee IMSC International Mobile Satellite Conference IMSC Interworking Mobile Switching Center ) announced today the sale of a high speed, high performance Vanguard(TM) Logic IC Validation System to National Semiconductor Corporation(R) (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange :NSM (Network and System Management) Running and controlling the networks and computer systems in an enterprise. See network management. ) for use in debugging advanced logic core designs for their family of Geode(TM) microprocessors. The Vanguard is optimized for debug, validation, fault isolation and analysis of high-speed logic in a dedicated engineering laboratory environment. National Semiconductor will utilize the Vanguard in conjunction with the Schlumberger(TM) IDS 10000da e-beam analysis instrumentation for device debug at its Longmont Design Center in Colorado. The Vanguard Logic IC Validation System provides quick and easy interactivity for engineers debugging and analyzing ICs with data rates up to 1 Gbit/s. With per-pin timing and fly-by fly·by also fly-by n. pl. fly·bys A flight passing close to a specified target or position, especially a maneuver in which a spacecraft or satellite passes sufficiently close to a body to make detailed observations without 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 on every data pin, Vanguard provides accurate, high-fidelity driver waveforms and fast and accurate comparators. The floatable fixture interface supports direct docking to auxiliary equipment, such as e-beam and laser voltage probers, with full bandwidth performance at the DUT DUT Dutch (language) DUT Device Under Test DUT Diplôme Universitaire de Technologie (French University Graduation in Technology) DUT Dalian University of Technology (also seen as DLUT) .
