/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Credence Systems Corporation
(NASDAQ:CMOS), a leading provider of innovative and cost-effective
test solutions from design to production for the worldwide
semiconductor industry, today announced that ELMOS, a leading
developer and producer of customer-specific system solutions for
the automotive sector, has selected its FALCON systems for the
testing of semiconductors used in automotive devices through 2010.
With the design of automotive semiconductors becoming more
cost-sensitive and integral to future success, the Germany-based
semiconductor manufacturer will use the FALCON GLX from Credence to
achieve industry-leading scalability, cost-performance and
flexibility. In evolving its use of Credence's FALCON Piranha
systems to include the GLX, ELMOS extends a highly successful
customer support relationship and continues to leverage Credence's
20 years experience in automotive device testing. The two companies
plan to continue working closely to define future needs.
Electronics innovation is a key market driver in the automotive
industry leading to greater electronics device complexity and a
resultant increase in the number of sophisticated complex ICs
(integrated circuits) required to power diverse functions such as
distance control, advanced vehicle safety systems, electronic
engine and chassis control, and a host of wireless technologies.
Auto makers are required to ensure the performance and durability
of electronic systems for exceptionally long periods and demanding
not only greater functionality but zero-defect components from
semiconductor manufacturers. To meet these evolving requirements,
IC manufacturers are combining analog, power and digital cores on
single silicon chips while setting unprecedented cost-performance
benchmarks, relying on sophisticated test processes such as
multi-site and highest-precision mixed signal to accelerate
delivery of advanced products at reduced cost. "Modern system on
chip (SoC) devices for the automotive industry require a test
system with a wide and flexible instrumentation," said Dr. Anton
Mindl, Chief Executive Officer of ELMOS. "Credence's FALCON GLX
delivers excellent mixed-signal technology to cover the whole range
of diverse testing requirements from design through debug and
production. Fast testing speed and excellent multi-site capability,
on the other hand, safeguard the cost efficiency needed in the
automotive environment." ELMOS supplies a broad range of
semiconductors, partnering closely with its customers from initial
concepts through development. ELMOS products are used by nearly all
auto manufacturers all over the world to power everything from data
transmission and motor control to airbag systems and specialized
solutions for high-temperature applications such as an alternator
control with Credence testing its entire portfolio. The newly
available FALCON GLX from Credence covers ELMOS' broad product
range and best meets evolving value requirements with the fastest
test speeds and multi-site testing at more than 48 sites. The
latest in Credence's FALCON test series, the FALCON GLX is
architected to deliver the sophistication, speed and flexibility
needed to satisfy the long-term needs of automobile manufacturers
and their IC suppliers. Introduced last year, FALCON GLX introduces
a mixed-signal test platform that combines a true per-pin
architecture with advanced analog instrumentation to enable
extensive multi-site test capabilities. While multi-site testing
delivers the higher throughput essential to staying competitive,
FALCON's field-proven software and extensive suite of tools deliver
the flexibility semiconductor manufacturers need to meet both
current and future applications requirements. "Suppliers of
semiconductors for the automotive industry manufacturers are
dealing with smaller lot sizes and longer-term lifecycle
performance guarantees of ten or even twenty years," says Lavi Lev,
Chief Executive Officer of Credence Systems. "Like military and
aerospace systems, every aspect of the design, development and
production processes must be optimized to ensure predictable
performance, reliability, and profitability. ELMOS is setting new
standards with its outstanding performance and our goal at
Credence, as we continue to work closely with them, is to continue
to provide comprehensive coverage of both current and future test
requirements for the automotive industry." About ELMOS ELMOS is a
leading developer and producer of customer-specific system
solutions for many years in the automotive sector. Based on the
modular high-voltage CMOS technology, a great amount of analog
mixed-signal circuitry elements such as voltage regulators,
analog/digital converters, power-drives and NVM storage offer a
huge range of integration possibilities for customers' ideas.
