Changjiang tests consumer chips using Credence tool

Jiangsu Changjiang Electronics Technology Co. Ltd has purchased a multiple ASL 1000 test systems from Credence Systems Corp. Changjiang Electronics, a test and assembly subcontractor in China, will use the systems for high volume production test of mixed-signal ICs for consumer devices.

"High volume consumer ICs represent a significant opportunity in emerging manufacturing markets such as China, said, Wang Xin Chao, chairman, CEO of Changjiang Electronics."However, the strong pricing pressure placed on these devices has magnified the importance of flexible test systems that deliver high throughput at a low cost-of-test. Credence's ASL 1000 addresses a diverse range of requirements with significantly faster test times than competitive systems, giving us a clear advantage in China's growing test and assembly market. Additionally, the established reputation and extensive customer support infrastructure of Credence and Spirox in China were critical factors in choosing a partner to assure smooth product introductions and efficient volume production."
