Burn-In Test System

Multichannel DC and pulsed source  with software for reliability test
Multichannel current source and software for reliability / burn-in test

Designed specifically to control and test current driven semiconductor devices, the Burn-In Test System is configurable with any SpikeSafe DC, Continuous Pulse or Performance series multichannel current source. These multichannel current sources offer multiple individually controllable source channels. With a wide range of currents and voltages available, system configurations and usage is simplified. SpikeSafe-ness patented transient protection rapidly shuts down power to devices, within ns, when an anomaly is detected. These digitally controlled provide a flexible, scalable foundation that meet stringent burn-in test protocols.
