Alpitronic’s test lab offers power cycling tests and thermal characterization services for power electronic modules. The test lab is regularly audited by a leading semiconductor manufacturer for the performance of production qualification tests. Power cycling tests are carried out in compliance with the ECPE Automotive Qualification Guideline (AQG) 324 in close collaboration with the customer. The first step in power cycling tests and thermal characterization is to plan the test setup and the necessary interfaces to the test bench. Once the modules are on site, they are first measured on the test bench or in a climate chamber to assess their junction temperature characteristic. The junction temperature is then measured by an indirect measurement method during testing. After the test assembly, the test's parameter settings are determined. Once the client approves, the test is started and supervised. When the test is complete, a test report is prepared to provide comprehensive documentation and an analysis of the results.
