(NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange :A) today announced that Global Advanced Packaging Technology Ltd. (GAPT GAPT Georgia Association for Play Therapy GAPT Generalized Atomic Polar Tensor ) has selected the Agilent 93000 SOC Series P1000-model test system as the standard test platform for China's first 1 Gbps high-speed production testing line. The Agilent 93000 SOC Series is ideal for verification and testing of PC and graphics chipsets, as well as high-speed architectures including HyperTransport, Serial ATA See SATA. Serial ATA - Serial Advanced Technology Attachment and PCI Express A high-speed peripheral interconnect from Intel introduced in 2002. Note that although sometimes abbreviated "PCX," PCI Express is not the same as "PCI-X" (see PCI-SIG and PCI-X for comparison). As a result of the confusion, "PCI-E" or "PCIe" is the accepted abbreviation. ; and high-speed interfaces such as 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. 2.0, LVDS (Low Voltage Differential Signaling) A transmission method for sending digital information. LVDS sends data over data high and data low lines rather than data and ground. and TMDS (Transition Minimized Differential Signaling) A transmission method for sending digital information from a personal computer, set-top box or other video source to a flat panel display. Developed by Silicon Image, Sunnyvale, CA (www.siliconimage. , used in communications and computer systems. "By adding the P1000 to the multiple Agilent 93000 SOC C400e-models already purchased for testing of mixed-signal ICs, GAPT takes full advantage of Agilent's expertise and long-term relationship to pioneer high-speed testing in China," said GAPT Chief Executive Officer C.K. Lin. "I firmly believe that the Agilent 93000 SOC P1000-model helps maximize customer satisfaction by meeting the rising demand for high-speed digital IC testing in China." "GAPT's leading-edge packaging and testing technology combined with the full support of Agilent China provides worldwide IC design houses and integrated device manufacturers with the most advanced testing services available," said Paul Yang, general manager for Semiconductor Test Equipment Group of Agilent China. "Creating China's first 1 Gbps high-speed production testing line creates a new milestone, and heralds the expansion of China's IC industry from entry-level, low-cost devices into high-end, high-quality integrated devices." The model P1000 tests devices with data rates up to 1.25 Gbps and is a proven production solution. In addition, it has the capabilities to test next-generation core logic chipsets and graphics chips. About the Agilent 93000 SOC Series The Agilent 93000 SOC Series is the industry's fastest growing, lowest cost, single scalable platform with more than 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 Gbps, 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.
