#SimcenterTesting

The family of thermal characterization hardware solutions provide component and systems suppliers with the ability to accurately and efficiently test, measure and thermally characterize semiconductor integrated circuit packages, single and arrayed LEDs, stacked and multi-die packages, power electronics modules, thermal interface material (TIM) properties, and complete electronic systems by testing components in situ.

LED’s are revolutionizing the lighting world, but require careful characterization to obtain data that is useful in thermal design. To understand the power that goes to heat, the proportion of the power that goes to light needs to be measured, which is a function of temperature and forward current. Our thermal characterization hardware and thermostatically controlled integrating sphere combine together to form an integrated thermal, photometric, and radiometric testing station for LEDs and light engines, capable of creating opto-thermal models for use in our thermal design software.

Simcenter POWERTESTER active power cycling hardware provides an industry-unique capability of combining active power cycling with transient thermal characterization and thermal structure investigation. The unique, non-destructive structure function assessment is performed while the device remains mounted, providing full electrical and structural assessment of the device throughout the testing program in a fully automated way.
