Burn-in testing its quantification and optimization

When scientifically planned and conducted, burn-in testing offers one of the most effective methods of reliability screening at the component level. By testing individual elements under constant temperature stress, electrical stress, temperature cycling stress, or a combined thermal-electrical stres...
