WESTWOOD, Mass.--LTX Corp. here today announced a second phase in its system-on-chip tester strategy, which aims to increase the company's business with third-party test and packaging houses. Subcontracted testing services are now surging as IC companies attempt to control costs, speed products to market and increase their focus on design of complex SoC devices (see feature from SBN OnLine Magazine). Also today, LTX posted a net income of $12.0 million on sales of $70.2 million in its second fiscal quarter, ended Jan. 31. LXT's sales were 108% higher than $33.7 million recorded in the second fiscal quarter last year. In that period, the automatic test equipment supplier reported a net income of $1.1 million. "Demand for new communications and Internet integrated circuits are pushing the forefront of system-on-a-chip technology," noted Roger Blethen, president and CEO at LTX. "This need for new technology coupled with Fusion's single-platform test capability led to orders of $102.8 million for the second [fiscal] quarter, an increase of 51% sequentially." Blethen also said LTX has launched the second phase of its Fusion marketing strategy, focusing on growth within the subcontract test and chip-assembly market. He said Fusion ATE systems for advanced ICs have been purchased by two independent test labs and five chip-assembly and testing houses.
