MILPITAS, USA: LTX-Credence Corp., a global provider of focused, cost-optimized ATE solutions, announced that Nordic Semiconductor, a leading supplier of short-range radio communication integrated circuits, has purchased, and taken delivery of, multiple X-Series test systems.

These test systems confirm Nordic's commitment to the X-Series as its principal engineering and production test platform for all radio communication products. The systems are in production at Nordic's subcontract test partners in Asia.

These new systems represent a significant increase of our production test capability, and demonstrate our commitment to LTX-Credence's X-Series."
