Unisem Selects Teradyne ETS-88 for Analog and Power Management Test

NORTH READING, MA - Teradyne, Inc. (NYSE: TER) announced that Unisem has selected the ETS-88™ test system from Teradyne’s Eagle Test business unit, based on the platform’s scalability, flexibility and superior test economics. Unisem, a global provider of semiconductor assembly and test services for many of the world’s most successful electronics companies, will install the systems in their Silicon Valley Development Plant located in Sunnyvale, CA as well their production facilities in Asia.

“Unisem is one of the largest subcons for analog and power and we are pleased to add them to the growing installed base of the ETS-88”

“The ETS-88 is a good match for our analog, automotive and power management analog customers,” said C.H.
