Abstract
Modern high-power chips require robust thermal solutions. Comprehensive testing using thermal testing vehicles (TTV) that accurately simulate real world conditions is required to ensure performance and stability of high-power chips with advanced cooling systems. Current techniques of powering thermal testing vehicles (TTVs) use traditional power supply units (PSUs), which are costly, space-consuming, and not easily scalable. This document describes a new technique for powering TTVs using regulated power bricks on an additional printed circuit board (PCB). A software interface controls both boards and monitors the testing environment. This approach offers advantages like reduced cost, space efficiency, and reusability of the additional PCB for different products compared to traditional PSUs.
