Renesas Technology Purchases Multiple LTX Fusion Test Systems; Fusion CX to Test Power Management and Video Devices.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers WESTWOOD, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 17, 2004 LTX LTX Liver Transplant LTX Lane Training Exercise LTX Laptop Expansion (Slot) Corporation (Nasdaq: LTXX), a leading supplier of semiconductor test solutions, today announced a volume purchase of its Fusion CX configuration by Renesas Technology Renesas Technology Corporation (ルネサス テクノロジ| Corp., the new joint-venture semiconductor company established by Hitachi, Ltd. and Mitsubishi Electric Mitsubishi Electric Corporation (三菱電機株式会社 Corporation. Renesas will use its new fleet of Fusions to test its power management chipset A group of chips designed to work as a unit to perform a function. For example, a modem chipset contains all the primary circuits for transmitting and receiving. A PC chipset provides the electronic interfaces between all subsystems (see PC chipset for illustration). as well as video devices. After a thorough evaluation of Fusion and competitive offerings, Renesas selected Fusion, citing the tester's scalability and performance as key reasons for its decision. The compact, production-proven CX configuration, an integral part of LTX's scalable, single-platform Fusion architecture, was the only tester that provided the full suite of capabilities Renesas required to test a wide array of its most advanced devices. "During our evaluation of ATE solutions for next-generation power management and video devices, Fusion successfully met our performance specifications, and delivered improved test economics," said Teruaki Ogata, then deputy general manager of Renesas Technology's Packaging and Test Technology Division. "And, as we rapidly enter volume manufacturing, the advantages of our Fusion strategy will become even more evident." "Fusion's powerful combination of performance and value, coupled with LTX's committed support organization, will be instrumental to our progress in developing advanced applications and devices," said Setsuo Ogura, executive general manager of Renesas Technology. "We look forward to LTX's partnership as we implement our growth strategies." "The selection of Fusion by an acknowledged market leader like Renesas provides us the opportunity to demonstrate the advantages that Fusion can bring to leading semiconductor manufacturers," said David Tacelli, president and chief operating officer Chief Operating Officer (COO) The officer of a firm responsible for day-to-day management, usually the president or an executive vice-president. of LTX. "With Fusion, we've used innovation as our vehicle for delivering the performance and cost of test demanded by advanced integrated circuits Integrated circuits Miniature electronic circuits produced within and upon a single semiconductor crystal, usually silicon. Integrated circuits range in complexity from simple logic circuits and amplifiers, about 1/20 in. (1. ." About Renesas Technology Corp.
