SANTA CLARA, Calif., Jan. 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- The T2000 16ch Base Band Waveform Generator Digitizer Module, introduced at Semicon West last year by Advantest Corporation (TSE:6857TSE:NYSE:TSE:ATE), the global leader in semiconductor test, has won an Honorable Mention in Test & Measurement World's 2007 Best in Test awards. Advantest's BBWGD module was developed with high integration that dramatically reduces test cost for consumer ICs while delivering accuracy, flexibility and high performance. The module's 16 channels satisfy diverse mixed-signal testing needs -- such as DC, audio, video, base band and high frequencies -- on a single board. This density provides the industry's highest performance mixed-signal test module on the market for the lowest cost. In addition, its diverse functionality allows semiconductor manufacturers to realize higher utilization via fewer instruments, streamlining operations with one module. Aimed at filling SoC customers' test needs, the T2000 BBWGD module further optimizes the benefits of Advantest's T2000 Open Architecture Test platform, the industry's only test platform based on OPENSTAR(R) open architecture specifications introduced by the not-for-profit Semiconductor Test Consortium. Since 1991, the editors of Test & Measurement World have selected the best test products annually to honor important and innovative new products and services in the electronics test and measurement industry. According to the Test & Measurement World website, the editors "narrowed this year's field from scores of deserving products, nominated by vendors, that were introduced between November 1, 2005 and October 31, 2006."
