Abstract

Active cycle stress testing of smart power switches is conventionally performed either with current pulses of constant amplitude or with waveforms derived by switching inductive loads. A flexible test system is introduced that is capable of generating arbitrary current pulse shapes, which is verified experimentally on a typical smart power switch. It is demonstrated by a test run that pulses with different shape and amplitude but equal thermal stress derived from thermal simulation lead to comparable cycle life time.
