Agilent Tests Infineon

PALO ALTO, Calif. -- Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE:A) today announced that it supplies its industry-leading Agilent 93000 Pin Scale system to Infineon Technologies (FSE:IFX)(NYSE:IFX) to conduct high-speed digital and mixed-signal application tests. The Agilent 93000 was selected by Infineon because its flexible, per-pin architecture can test Infineon's highly integrated communication devices, at low cost, on a single scalable platform. In addition, the Agilent Audio/Video 8 analog card configured in the system enables multisite testing of state-of-the-art mixed-signal devices.

"We selected the Agilent 93000 Pin Scale because of its compatibility with our progressive design-for-test roadmap," said Peter Muhmenthaler, principal, test innovation and methodology, Infineon Technologies. "We value Agilent's commitment to this platform, which supports us with an innovative, non-disruptive architecture in terms of future test technologies."

"Infineon manufactures feature-rich solutions that require multiple technologies on a single chip," said Pascal Ronde, vice president of Agilent's Semiconductor Test Solutions. "Agilent is pleased to provide a cost-effective, flexible solution with the ability to test multiple technologies on a single platform. This will allow Infineon to deliver competitively priced, mixed-signal products to market faster. In addition, as Infineon's applications increase in complexity, the Agilent 93000 can be scaled to meet the company's emerging test needs."
