The TLW 739 has been designed to verify the life cycle characteristics of up to 18 power semiconductor devices (IGBT, MOSFET, Thyristor and diode).
Testing is implemented with forward load current pulses that cause temperature changes and variations in the temperature gradient within the DUT.
With long term life cycle testing “fatigue” alterations of the DUT that influence the forward voltage drop, internal thermal resistance and gate controllability can be monitored and recorded. Any resulting damage of the solder or bonding connections can also be identified.
An external heat exchange unit provides DUT heating and cooling fully interfaced with the test systems control software.
Test result data is saved to the rack mounted PC and can be exported for further analysis.
