Robert Muller, general manager of Teradyne’s Commercial Assembly Test Business Unit, said, “We believe that this agreement will help strengthen Teradyne’s position in a key business region of North America. Testing House will help support TestStation customers in this region and maintain a top-of-the-line UltraPin II machine for application development, product demonstrations and advanced technology seminars.”

Byoung An, president of Testing House said, "Having the latest low voltage and SafeTest™ technologies from Teradyne and the ability to provide high pin-count solutions up to 7,680 pins, gives us a unique advantage in the industry. We intend to offer our customers test solutions that concentrate on PCB diagnostics and allow them to improve their manufacturing process in an efficient and confident way, with the best relationship between cost and benefit. Our goal is to exceed our customers' expectations."

The TestStation LX in-circuit test system provides Testing House with the most advanced test capabilities, including:

-- SafeTest protection technology to enable safe powered-up testing of
   low-voltage devices

-- Advanced vectorless test techniques, including Framescan FX,
   Cap Xpress, and Junction Xpress

-- Scalability from 256 to 7,680 test pins to meet test requirements
   for most applications

-- Feature configurable - fully upgradeable for future requirements

-- Turn-key programming solutions for ease-of-use and accelerated time
   to production

-- New compact design improves reliability and reduces floor space

-- Compatible with most GR228X/TestStation programs and fixtures to
   preserve test investments

About SafeTest Protection Technology

SafeTest protection technology is founded on the combined strengths of Teradyne's patented UltraPin II digital pin electronics and built-in TestStation software features. This powerful combination of technologies permits accurate, reliable and safe powered-up testing of today's new low-voltage technologies, ensuring product quality and reducing overall costs. This is achieved through the reduction of false failures that lead to unnecessary rework and the elimination of voltage conditions that could lead to field failures, invalid warranties and liability costs.

SafeTest protection technology features:

-- UltraPin II - the most accurate ICT driver/sensor pin in the
   industry for safe testing of low-voltage technologies

        - Closed-loop drivers - capable of delivering accurate,
          programmable voltage levels under backdrive and fault
          conditions

        - Backdrive current sensing - used to identify unreliable and
          potentially harmful tests

        - Programmable backdrive current and duration thresholds - to
          enrich programmer control of backdrive currents and their
          duration

        - Automatic driver verification - to verify voltage thresholds
          at each pin

        - Per-pin programmable dual logic thresholds and timing
          strobes - resulting in no test compromises due to tester
          limitations

-- Specialized digital controller - to quickly execute test vectors
   and minimize backdrive duration

-- Multi-level digital-isolation software - to prevent dangerous
   voltage spikes
