SHEFFIELD, UK - Jennic, a fabless semiconductor company, has purchased an Agilent RF IC tester. The equipment will be installed at its Sheffield headquarters.
Jennic is expected to use the 93000 SoC series tester for product validation and multi-site test development for its JN5121 IEEE802.15.4 wireless microcontroller.
The acquisition of the tester is considered to be a first for a UK fabless semiconductor company.
In a statement, Paul Wells, VP of manufacturing at Jennic, said, "In order to meet volume delivery requirements for our single chip low power wireless microcontroller, we need to ensure we have the right manufacturing infrastructure. By making major investments in a state-of-the-art tester and establishing strong relationships with world class suppliers, we are able to source large volumes of high quality products for our customers."
