LTX-Credence Announces Nighthawk(CT), the New Low Cost Benchmark for Connectivity Device Testing
December 10 2012 - 8:30AM
LTX-Credence Corporation (Nasdaq:LTXC), a global provider of market
focused, cost-optimized ATE solutions, today announced the first
product under the Nighthawk brand, NighthawkCT for testing
connectivity devices.
Connectivity devices, including Zigbee, WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS and
DVB integrated circuits, are high-volume, price sensitive devices
used in a diverse and growing portfolio of consumer products. Prior
to the introduction of NighthawkCT, the only option for
semiconductor companies designing connectivity devices to reduce
test costs was to implement massive multi-site solutions on large,
expensive RF testers. These solutions lead to higher capital cost,
lower capital utilization and longer time to market. NighthawkCT,
the result of LTX-Credence's RF and DSP industry leading expertise,
represents a major shift in testing strategy for these types of
devices and significantly improves on every aspect of RF
connectivity test.
With the adoption of NighthawkCT, customers can take advantage
of the following benefits:
- A lower cost of test by over 50% compared to traditional
competitive solutions.
- The widest IF bandwidth in the industry, allowing for fast and
accurate testing of all existing standards and the newly emerging
802.11ac devices.
- Powerful embedded DSP processing to enhance dynamic range and
produce the fastest throughput.
- An ultra compact RF system (the size of a laptop), which can
easily upgrade any Diamond Series or X-Series tester in the field
in typically 30 minutes.
- The lowest annual operating cost due to a calibration strategy
which eliminates costly hardware and improves test cell operational
efficiency.
Each NighthawkCT instrument is capable of full quad-site
parallel test and up to two NighthawkCT instruments can be
configured in a test system allowing for full functional testing of
up to eight devices simultaneously. NighthawkCT will be released to
manufacturing in the first calendar quarter of 2013.
"In our view NighthawkCT represents revolutionary technology.
This new product, two years in the making, represents innovation at
the highest level by leveraging 30 years of experience developing
RF test solutions," said David Tacelli, LTX-Credence president and
chief executive officer. "Our beta customers are extremely
impressed with the performance, speed, size and reliability of the
product. We anticipate NighthawkCT will be a significant advantage
for the Company when competing for business in the connectivity
space."
