ABOV Semiconductor buys Teradyne's MCU test-gear

ABOV Semiconductor, a fabless microcontroller semiconductor company has selected the J750 test system from Teradyne for characterization and production test of its portfolio of 8-bit and 32-bit MCUs.

"The broad market acceptance of the J750 and its ability to meet all the wafer sort and final test insertion measurement requirements across ABOV's microcontroller product lines was extremely attractive," said Junghoon Kim, director of Production Division, ABOV Semiconductor. "In addition, the J750 offers the headroom to handle our future testing needs by giving us the ability to scale up to their Ex instrumentation when the timing is right."

"The J750 platform is the ideal choice in the marketplace for microcontroller test," said Kyle Klatka, Consumer Digital Market Segment manager, Teradyne. "We are pleased that ABOV selected the J750 as it continues to offer the most compelling cost of test economics for price-sensitive, consumer digital applications and is readily available at dozens of subcons."
Korea based ABOV Semiconductor is a spin-off from Magnachip Semiconductor.
