Micro Control Company Applications

Burn-in with test plays a different role depending on where and how your devices are used. Micro Control has worked across virtually every major semiconductor application, from automotive and defense to AI, consumer electronics, and much more. While exceptionally important in many markets and applications, our burn-in with test ensures your devices perform well and reliably.

Explore how burn-in with test supports reliability, qualification, and production screening across the industries and applications that matter most to your organization.

Our Applications

AI & High-Performance Computing

AI and HPC systems push semiconductors to their limits, running at peak utilization for extended periods in environments where failures carry significant operational cost. Burn-in with test helps ensure devices are ready to execute their intended purpose and support your applications.

  • Early-life failure screening for high-power compute devices
  • Qualification and production screening support
  • Applicable to data center, cloud, and enterprise AI infrastructure

Automotive

Automotive devices operate in demanding conditions for the life of the vehicle, often for a decade or more, with safety implications that make early-life failure screening a critical part of the production process.

  • Supports JEDEC and AEC-Q100 qualification workflows
  • Screening for ECUs, ADAS, powertrain, and battery management devices
  • Applied across qualification and production environments

Reliability & Qualification

Across industries, reliability and qualification devices depend on controlled stress exposure to validate device robustness and reduce the risk of failures that reach the field.

  • Burn-in as part of multi-layer qualification strategies
  • Support for new device introductions and process node transitions
  • Applicable across engineering and production environments

Application-Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) & Custom Silicon

Custom silicon devices carry unique reliability risks, limited sourcing, significant NRE investment, and devices that often operate near performance limits. Burn-in with test helps validate robustness before system integration.

  • Tailored burn-in strategies for custom architectures
  • Applied during qualification builds and early production
  • Flexible configuration to match unique device requirements

Communications & Networking

Networking hardware is expected to operate continuously, often in remote or difficult-to-service locations, for years at a time. Burn-in supports the early-life failure screening that keeps that promise achievable.

  • Screening for switches, routers, optical transport, and base station devices
  • Applicable to carrier-grade and enterprise networking devices
  • Supports qualification and high-volume production workflows

Smartphones & Consumer Devices

At consumer electronics volumes, even a small early-life failure rate creates large-scale downstream impact. Burn-in helps manufacturers reduce infant mortality and protect product launches.

  • Screening for SoCs, memory, PMICs, and custom consumer silicon
  • Adaptable to rapid product cycles and evolving device architectures
  • Supports qualification, production ramp, and targeted screening

Defense & Aerospace

When systems operate in environments where failure isn't an option and access for repair is limited, the stakes of getting reliability right couldn't be higher. Burn-in with test supports the rigorous validation that defense and aerospace devices demand.

  • Screening for avionics, navigation, radar, and communications devices
  • Supports MIL-STD and customer-defined qualification requirements
  • Applied across engineering and production environments
An engineer in an office uses dual monitors to work on 3D mechanical CAD designs.
