Aquarius Burn-In Oven

Aquarius Burn-In System

2008

Needing even higher power for new products, we needed water cooling to control thermal run-away.  150W of cooling per DUT and 150W of power capable to be delivered per DUT.

Utilized individual pneumatic cylinders for each thermal head to maintain even and adjustable power per part without making heavy and expensive test boards.

  • Main system architect for PCB, system integration, mechanical, thermal, and software systems

  • Controls and communication protocols based on Sahara system architecture

  • First prototype design changed less than 5% from final due to use of CAD tolerancing and simulations

  • $250K cost with estimated commercial equivalent to be $1.5M+

  • 18 Month development cycle

System Capabilities

  • 400 Simultaneous Devices Under Test (DUT)

  • 150W per device (3KW per board)

  • 80KW total DC power for system

  • Individual control of test vectors, voltage, current, and temperature

  • Independent test of all devices with up to 400 different simultaneous tests
