LTX-Credence Diamond Test Systems Achieve Superior Results for Sunplus

LTX-Credence Corporation (Nasdaq:LTXC), a global provider of focused, cost-optimized ATE solutions, today announced that Sunplus Technology (TSE:2401) (LSE:SUPD), one of the world's leading suppliers of multimedia IC solutions, has realized significant advantages from its deployment of the Diamond platform from LTX-Credence for test of its leading-edge consumer SoC and other device solutions.

Sunplus selected the LTX-Credence Diamond based on the platform's proven performance in testing complex, highly integrated devices with digital and analog cores at very low cost, and has deployed multiple systems at its facility and utilized additional systems at its subcontract test partners.

"We chose the Diamond from LTX-Credence to be one of our major test platforms for mixed signal and digital testing of our IC solutions for DVD players, DVB and DPF because it delivers outstanding performance and the right cost of test metrics for our product portfolio," noted Thomas Yeh, test engineering manager at Sunplus. "The results we have achieved with Diamond in the past year validate that decision. The Diamond platform, coupled with the application development and support services provided by Spirox, has demonstrated cost-effective solutions for our devices and superior throughput than our previous test solution."

"The results achieved by Sunplus clearly demonstrate the powerful combination of LTX-Credence's focused, cost-optimized ATE solutions and the unmatched application development and support services provided by Spirox," said James Wu, vice president of Spirox. "We are committed to working closely with LTX-Credence to continue to deliver advanced, cost-effective products and services that enable our customers' success in their markets."
