Mastering High-Current Latch-Up Testing for Next-Generation Devices

Real-world challenges, use cases, and proven approaches to improving test accuracy and efficiency.

 


Americas: June 24, 11am PST
APAC: June 25, 9am CST
Europe: June 25, 3pm CEST

 

As AI, HPC, and advanced semiconductor devices push current demands higher, traditional latch-up testing struggles to deliver the speed, control, and accuracy required, leading to longer test times and uncertain results.

 

In this live webinar, our experts will break down how to approach high-current latch-up testing with confidence, including how hybrid power supply solutions enable more precise and efficient validation.

 

Drawing from real-world applications and customer experience, this session will provide practical insights you can apply immediately, along with a roadmap for what equipment you need to consider.

 

What you’ll learn

  • How high-current latch-up testing differs from standard approaches 
  • How to meet JESD78 requirements with greater efficiency and accuracy 
  • Lessons learned from real-world implementations  

 

Grounded in proven methodologies, these insights reflect the growing need for integrated, high-current-capable test solutions as device complexity increases. 

 

Why you should attend

  • Reduce false positives and missed latch-up events
  • Shorten test times compared to traditional setups 
  • Gain practical guidance from experienced applications engineers 
  • Understand how to scale your existing platform with hybrid power solutions

Real-world deployments have shown that integrated hybrid supply approaches can dramatically reduce test time and improve compliance with industry standards, compared to less optimized setups.

 

Who should attend

  • Reliability and validation engineers working with high-current devices 
  • Teams developing AI, HPC, or advanced semiconductor technologies 
  • Anyone responsible for latch-up or EOS qualification  

 

Learn how to improve accuracy, reduce test time, and confidently validate high-current devices.
