LTX Announces Dual Site Production Testing of 10 Gb/s Devices on Fusion; First of Its Kind Multisite Production Testing Implemented on Fusion HFi at Gennum Corporation.WESTWOOD, Mass. -- LTX LTX Liver Transplant LTX Lane Training Exercise LTX Laptop Expansion (Slot) Corporation (Nasdaq: LTXX), a leading provider of semiconductor test solutions, today announced that its Fusion HFi test system configured with its gigabit test option (GTO GTO Gran Turismo Omologato (Ferrari & Pontiac models) GTO Go To GTO Guanajuato (México) GTO Great Teacher Onizuka (Japanese series) GTO Geosynchronous Transfer Orbit ) is performing dual site production testing of 10 Gb/s clock and data recovery (CDR (1) See CD-R and extension. (2) (Call Detail Reporting) See call accounting. (3) (Common Data Rate) A standard sampling rate for digital video for 480i and 576i systems. The rate is 13.5 MHz. See ITU-R BT. ) devices at Gennum Corporation. Gennum, a leading provider of advanced semiconductor components, believes this to be the first multisite production testing of these types of devices at these speeds. "Volume production of our high speed 10 Gb/s devices presented test challenges requiring the most advanced test technology - but at a cost that would meet our business objectives," noted Dave Simmons Dave Simmons is the head men's basketball coach at McNeese State University. • • [ , Director of Video IC Product Development for Gennum. "With LTX and Fusion, that's just what we got. LTX's applications engineering team worked closely with our engineers to optimize all aspects of our testing. This resulted in a test solution that met our demanding performance criteria, production schedule and cost model. As we continue to make advances in our future generations of devices, we are confident that LTX and Fusion will continue to provide the performance, support and economics that give us an advantage in our competitive markets." GIGABIT TEST OPTION LTX's VX-GTOs test instrument is ideally suited for high-speed serial applications, addressing the advancing datacomm requirements of devices such as Sonet, SerDes, Ethernet, Fibre Channel and XAUI XAUI 10 Gigabit Attachment Unit Interface XAUI Extended Auxiliary Unit Interface XAUI XSBI Attachment Unit Interface (IEEE 802.3ae) XAUI Ten Gbps Attachment Unit Interface . The instrument is capable of generating and capturing high speed data from 1.0 to 12.0 Gb/s, and offers advanced capabilities including jitter A flicker or fluctuation in a transmission signal or display image. The term is used in several ways, but it always refers to some offset of time and space from the norm. For example, in a network transmission, jitter would be a bit arriving either ahead or behind a standard clock cycle injection, sensitivity control, PRBS PRBS Pseudo-Random Binary Sequence PRBS Pseudo Random Bit Sequence PRBS Pseudorandom Bit Stream (Hekimian) PRBS Probability Random Bit Sequence PRBS Pseudo Random Bit Stream generation and Bathtub curve bathtub curve - Common term for the curve (resembling an end-to-end section of one of those claw-footed antique bathtubs) that describes the expected failure rate of electronics with time: initially high, dropping to near 0 for most of the system's lifetime, then rising again as it generation. Its low jitter source of less than 1 ps, built in clock data recovery, and programmable jitter injection allow the instrument to provide both full characterization and volume production test capability. The VX-GTOs is a comprehensive ATE instrument, fully integrated with Fusion's system hardware and software, enabling simple programming and fast test times.
