High Energy Pulse Generator in Reliability Researches of Thick-Film Structures

In modern electronic microcircuits the intended and unintentional dynamic changes of the temperature (for example caused be electrical signals) are very often observed. The good knowledge about these phenomena is the basis of lifetime and reliability determination in the real-world operating conditions. The presented pulse generator is very useful in researches connected with such problems especially with reliability researches. It allows generating the high-energy pulses with short time duration. The special solution of the discharge circuit has been applied in the generator - it causes the precise realization of voltage and current measurements of the discharge pulse. Using of the microprocessor control system allows to introduce the additional functions which are very useful for users. Additionally, it is equipped in many constructional solutions, which are useful for different kinds of laboratory investigations.
