 Emulation TechnologyCompany Description:Emulation Technology was founded in 1983 to produce and market time-saving very large-scale integration (VLSI) and surface mount technology (SMT) adapters and accessories for engineers involved in hardware and software product development, design and test, and electronic systems manufacturing. ET has been committed to helping its customers quickly and efficiently manage testing and debugging of electronic systems for more than a decade. Emulation Technology is the world leader in the adapter and test accessory market, representing the industry's largest provider. The company introduced its first product, the "Bug-Katcher," in 1983, and its first complete product catalog appeared in 1987. The company was the first to introduce a 0.3 millimeter test product, the MicroGripper™, in 1996. Emulation Technology was also the first company to introduce pin grid array (PGA), plastic quad flat (PQFP) and ball grid array (BGA) package adapter support for engineers involved in high-level hardware and software design.As integrated circuits become more dense, packaging shrinks in physical size and increases in lead count. Surface mount technology will continue to be prevalent and system clock speeds will increase. The complexity of IC's will also continue to increase. New SMT package types have created a need for the types of sophisticated adapters and test clips that ET provides. The San Jose Business Journal rated the company as one of the top 100 fastest growing private companies in Silicon Valley in 1993. Emulation Technology currently designs, manufactures and markets more than 4,000 products, has more than 45,000 customers, and maintains business operations in 30 countries. Emulation Technology's success is based on closely tracking individual customer needs and providing products that provide higher levels of value, reliability and performance. The future direction of Emulation Technology will allow the company to grow the market share of its existing products, while it addresses emerging markets with innovative and timely development test solutions.
