Wewon’s temperature forcing system can be used to complete the high and low temperature impact test of automotive grade chips. Car-grade chips refer to chips whose technical standards have reached the car-grade level and can be applied to car control. Automotive grade is one of the specification standard grades applicable to automotive electronic components. Automotive-grade chips are chips used in automobiles.
Unlike consumer and industrial products, this type of chip has higher reliability requirements, such as operating temperature range, operating stability, and defect rate. Product level differences are mainly realized through complex chip design and production process control, which show differences in operating temperature range, stability, etc.
In terms of reliability testing of automotive grade chips, Wewon’s thermal inducing system has unique advantages different from traditional thermal shock chambers: ①Rapid temperature change. ②Real-time monitoring of the real temperature of the component under test. ③The impact air temperature can also be adjusted at any time. It can independently perform high and low temperature shocks on a single IC among the many components on the PCB circuit board, without affecting other surrounding devices.

In recent years, the intelligentization, networking and electrification of vehicles have developed rapidly. Vehicle requirements for chips are growing rapidly both in terms of quantity and performance. Nowadays, a well-loaded chip can make a car more competitive. OEMs have given unprecedented attention to automotive chips. Compared with other consumer-grade industrial electronic components, automotive electronic components need to face a more harsh external working environment, longer service life, higher reliability and safety requirements.
China has become the world’s largest auto market, The trend of electrification and intelligence promotes a substantial increase in the number of automotive chips. The localization of automotive-grade chips already has a large-scale foundation. However, at present, China-made automotive-grade chips still have problems such as small vehicle application scale, long automotive certification cycle, low added value of technology, and high dependence on upstream industries. The temperautre forcing system developed and produced by Wewon Environmental Chambers Co., Ltd. is exerting a positive and effective positive impact on high and low temperature impact test for automotive grade chips.
The test method to complete the high and low temperature impact test of automotive grade chips by the customer who has ordered 6 pieces Wewon’s temperature forcing system:
1. Place the tested chip or module on the test fixture, and press the heat shield on the corresponding fixture (the test specimen is placed in the fixture).
2. Start Wewon’s temperature forcing air stream system, and set the temperature range to be tested. Pass dry and clean compressed air into the internal refrigerator of the high and low temperature testing machine for low temperature treatment, and then the air goes through the pipeline to the heating head to heat up, and the air flow passes through the insulation The hot air hood enters the test chamber. The temperature sensor in the heat shield can monitor the current temperature in the chamber in real time.
3. Under the test platform of automotive electronic chips, Thermal air stream system quickly heats up to the required set temperature, real-time detection of related parameters such as the electrical working status of the automotive chip at the set temperature, for product analysis and process improvement And the directional quality traceability of batches provides reliable data basis.
