SensorDynamics Chooses Teradyne Test Equipment for Industrializing Complex Automotive Microsensor Systems.MUNICH, Germany -- Teradyne, Inc. (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange :TER Third version. See bis. ) announced that SensorDynamics AG, an emerging company based in Graz-Lebring, Austria, has selected Teradyne(R) test systems for industrializing its advanced automotive microsensor Microsensor A very small sensor with physical dimensions in the submicrometer to millimeter range. A sensor is a device that converts a nonelectrical physical or chemical quantity, such as pressure, acceleration, temperature, or gas concentration, into an systems. SensorDynamics is now developing customer-specific fail-safe MEMSoP (Micro Electro Mechanical System on Package) sensors and intelligent sensor An intelligent sensor takes some predefined action when it senses the appropriate input (light, heat, sound, motion, touch, etc.). Description The sensor has to do the following tasks:
v. in·dus·tri·al·ized, in·dus·tri·al·iz·ing, in·dus·tri·al·iz·es v.tr. 1. To develop industry in (a country or society, for example). 2. these leading edge micro products using Teradyne's automatic semiconductor test equipment. SensorDynamics chose Teradyne because of their systems' high-performance signal generation, capture and analysis capabilities and high parallel test capability, which reduces the overall cost of production test. Initial applications will utilize a J750(TM) ATE platform at SensorDynamics development and outgoing quality test center in Graz-Lebring. These investments will guarantee high-quality production test development and final package device test for shipments to automotive end-customers. "Teradyne provides test architectures which meet exactly all requirements for testing complex automotive microsensor systems and have the ability to keep pace with the speed of innovations in this exciting market," said Herbert Gartner Chief Financial & Operating Officer, SensorDynamics. "We highly appreciate Teradyne's support during the product development and production implementation phases and expect a long-term relationship based on an established customer-specific automotive business." "We look forward to working with SensorDynamics, a high potential company, to jointly guarantee best-in-class test solutions for their devices that will be shipped to a range of automotive customers in the rapidly growing microsensors market," said Adolf Finkenzeller, Sales Manager sales manager n → gerente m/f de ventas sales manager n → directeur commercial sales manager sale n → Central Europe Central Europe is the region lying between the variously and vaguely defined areas of Eastern and Western Europe.

"Our work with SensorDynamics is an important step into the MEMS (MicroElectroMechanical Systems) Tiny mechanical devices that are built onto semiconductor chips and are measured in micrometers. In the research labs since the 1980s, MEMS devices began to materialize as commercial products in the mid-1990s. sensor market, which had a growth rate of 50% last year."
