"After purchasing our first Catalyst and J750 last year, we have been quite pleased with their performance. The Catalyst and J750 have been especially helpful to us because they provide high throughput and extensive test program development and debug tools," said Ken Molitor, Director of Engineering Operations for Dallas Semiconductor. "Both Catalyst and the J750 are perfect economic test solutions for the design and production of our innovative devices."
"We are pleased Catalyst -- with its wide range of instrumentation and rich set of IMAGE(TM) test development tools -- and the J750 -- with its small footprint and economical parallel testing capabilities -- provide Dallas Semiconductor with the best total test solution for fast time-to-market and high-speed production testing of its telecom and microcontroller devices," said Dave Sulman, Teradyne's Sr. Vice President of Semiconductor Divisions.
About INTEGRA J750
The INTEGRA J750 delivers up to 1,024 digital channels into a zero footprint system entirely contained within a test head. Its high-throughput parallel testing capabilities help deliver 95% parallel test efficiency for up to 32 devices. The system also features IG-XL test software, the semiconductor ATE industry's first test development suite combining the power and performance of the latest PC technology and Windows NT operating system with the familiarity of standard Windows productivity tools, like Microsoft Excel and Visual Basic. Its small footprint and high parallel test throughput provides the most economical approach to testing complex VLSI devices with embedded memory and analog cells.
