Credence Demonstrates Value-Optimized Test Solutions for Consumer Semiconductor Industry at Semicon Singapore

Marketwired
SINGAPORE , a provider of automated test equipment (ATE)
solutions for the worldwide consumer semiconductor industry,
announced today that it will showcase important technical
demonstrations on its Diamond 10, ASL 1000 and ASL 3000RF product
platforms at the Credence-UST Booth No. 1402 in Hall 4 during
Semicon Singapore 2008, beginning today at the Suntec Singapore
International Convention and Exhibition Centre.
On the ultra-compact Diamond 10 platform, Credence will present
the capabilities of its complete instrument portfolio, highlighting
the powerful new MultiWave instrument to demonstrate advanced
mixed-signal capabilities such as parallel ADC and DAC testing as
well as GSM/GPRS baseband system on chip (SoC) testing. Multisite
solutions for high-volume production will also be highlighted,
illustrating the ease with which test engineers can convert a
single-site test program to quad site within the Diamond Integrated
Test Environment (ITE) software.
The ten-slot Diamond 10, which is about the size of a large
desktop computer, is specifically designed to solve the test
challenges facing manufacturers of very price-sensitive consumer IC
devices. The Diamond 10 offers industry leading cost-performance
capability within a floor space requirement of less than 1 square
meter, compared to traditional ATE systems that require at least
four times this area to deliver similar capability. The Diamond
architecture can be configured with a complete range of test
instruments. Typical configurations support up to 768 200-Mbps
digital channels, or up to 672 digital channels when equipped with
mixed-signal instruments.
The MultiWave, which integrates the functionality of multiple
instruments into one multi-channel arbitrary waveform generator and
digitizer unit, further leverages the Diamond 10 system benefits to
give customers the industry's most cost-effective mixed-signal
solution for multisite testing of highly integrated
system-in-package (SiP) and system-on-chip (SoC) devices used in
mainstream consumer applications. Customers today use the MultiWave
to solve a full range of highly integrated SoC/SiP testing
challenges (for example, fully parallel and concurrent testing of
audio and video devices), thus effectively reducing cost of
ownership in very competitive markets.
Credence will also present solutions for two of its leading
platforms in the ASL Series, the most widely deployed production
test system in the industry. With over 3000 systems installed
worldwide, the ASL platforms -- ASL 1000, ASL 3000, and ASL 3000RF
-- are proven to consistently deliver highly accurate results at
significantly lower cost of test for very competitive market
environments, including analog, discrete, power management and
wireless applications.
On the ASL 1000, Credence will demonstrate volume testing of
devices such as single-channel protected power switches designed
for USB and other 5V high-side power-switched applications,
compliant with USB1.1/USB2.0 specifications for use in
consumer-driven products such as PDAs, computers, portable media
players, etc. Another ASL 1000 demonstration will test 8-bit serial
I/O ADCs with multiplexer options to illustrate ease of interfacing
to all microprocessors. The ASL 1000 is a linear test platform that
supports up to 21 instruments in a fully configured system. With
the smallest footprint in its class, the air-cooled ASL 1000 uses a
standard 110/220V outlet. It is extremely adaptable and easily
shared between engineering labs and full production test
environments where it proves its low total cost of ownership on a
daily basis.
For wireless applications, Credence will unveil key capabilities
of the ASL 3000RF platform, to demonstrate cost-effective testing
of an ISM band single-chip, frequency shift keying (FSK)
transceiver device intended for use in half-duplex, bidirectional
RF links. The scalable, flexible architecture of the ASL 3000RF
protects investment in capital equipment, program development, and
training, offering a significantly lower cost of ownership than
competitive offerings. The ASL 3000RF includes advanced RF
instrumentation for both digital and analog baseband, and features
modulated vector network analysis (MVNA(TM)) technology for making
S-parameter measurements with greater accuracy.
