(NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange :A) today announced that Arcadia has selected the Agilent 93000 SOC (System-on-a-Chip) test system to test numerous mixed-signal and high-speed IP cores at its facility in Shanghai, China. Arcadia has already implemented the Agilent 93000 to successfully verify silicon devices for a variety of high-speed computing and communications hardware applications, including one of the few 32-bit CPUs successfully mass-produced in China. The most challenging task for a successful integrated circuit integrated circuit (IC), electronic circuit built on a semiconductor substrate, usually one of single-crystal silicon. The circuit, often called a chip, is packaged in a hermetically sealed case or a nonhermetic plastic capsule, with leads extending from it for (IC) design service resides in offering versatile IP and helping customers execute IP integration. The Agilent 93000 SOC Series test system's wide application coverage fulfills the unique test requirements of the IC design service industry. Its single, scalable platform offers the flexibility to select different test configurations for a variety of applications. Therefore, the IC design service companies can simply upgrade the configuration on an existing system to meet test challenges resulting from technology evolution and market trend shifts. Arcadia's products range from 32-bit CPUs to 20-bit high-resolution DA and AD converters, a 480/700 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. high-speed PLL PLL - phase-locked loop (Phase Lock Loop), and USB USB in full Universal Serial Bus Type of serial bus that allows peripheral devices (disks, modems, printers, digitizers, data gloves, etc.) to be easily connected to a computer. 1.1 and USB2.0 high-speed interconnect interfaces. "Applying flexible scalability to highly integrated SOC device testing will not only save on capital cost, but will also eliminate the need for testing different devices on different test platforms, an ongoing headache for IC design companies," said Dr. Hu Chi-Feng, vice president of Arcadia Design Systems. "The Agilent 93000's superior performance and flexible upgrade solutions shorten our time to market and lower our cost of test. With Agilent's professional verification experience and consulting services Noun 1. consulting service - service provided by a professional advisor (e.g., a lawyer or doctor or CPA etc.) service - work done by one person or group that benefits another; "budget separately for goods and services" , Arcadia can bridge the testing gap for China-based IC design companies." "The recognition of the Agilent 93000 SOC Series from IC design service companies again substantiates Agilent's consistent customer-centric service approach," said Paul Yang, general manager of Agilent China's Semiconductor Test Equipment Group. "Helping customers grow and succeed in business is Agilent's primary focus. Through the collaboration with Arcadia Design Systems, Agilent looks forward to improving China's IC design service industry." About the Agilent 93000 SOC Series The Agilent 93000 SOC Series is the industry's fastest growing, lowest cost single, scalable platform with over 480 installed systems worldwide. The Agilent 93000 SOC Series is designed to meet both the demanding performance and cost challenges of SOC testing. Models are configured to span the widest range of applications that may require ultra-high-speed digital data rates, up to 10 Gb/s, and the broadest range of mixed-signal and RF capabilities. With this range of capabilities, the 93000 SOC Series is the first choice for SCMs and the preference for high-volume manufacturing. More information is available at www.agilent.com/see/soctest.
