PALO ALTO -- King Yuan Electronics Corp., an integrated back-end service provider in Taiwan,
has purchased an Agilent Technologies 93000 Pin Scale system to add to its Agilent
93000 installed base. The system will be used for testing complex SOCs
(systems-on-a-chip) for applications such as PCI Express, Serial ATA
and HyperTransport.
"We are seeing a growing demand for the 93000 Pin Scale system, especially from customers wanting faster and more economical test solutions for high-complexity, high-accuracy SOC devices," said Gauss Chang, KYEC assistant vice president in charge of sales, marketing and platform evaluation. "We chose the 93000 Pin Scale system because it gives us the flexibility to measure a wide range of devices with very high accuracy at a low cost of test."
The system supports up to 2,048 pins -- enough for multisite test or high-pin-count devices. The tester scales to 3.6 Gb/s to address high-speed interface applications targeted for KYEC's system.
