LTX (NASD: LTXX) is an Automatic Test Equipment (ATE) vendor, founded in 1976 and headquartered in Westwood, MA (Greater Boston). 2005 annual sales were approximately $135 mil (EDGAR SEC Filing) and it has 473 Employees (Yahoo Finance).
The present focus of the company is the design and development of ATE for the semiconductor marketplace, but it distinguished itself in the early days as a provider of functional and parametric testers for discrete component RF products. Even today, LTX retains that heritage by offering Fusion, a test platform capable of testing a mixed signal (analog & digital) device.
