Introducing the LC-3: Sophisticated Burn-In System Ready for the Future

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – May 15, 2025

(Minneapolis, MN) Micro Control Company announces the release of the LC-3 Logic Burn-In with Test System. The LC-3 is a sophisticated burn-in with test system designed for applications in engineering characterization, life testing, and production burn-in of logic, mixed signal, analog, and memory devices.

Featuring individual temperature control (ITC) for each device under test, for up to 48 20-watt devices per burn-in board (80 watts for fewer devices), the LC-3 keeps devices at an optimal temperature for stressing and testing during a burn-in cycle.

Programmable power supplies provide up to 1000 watts of regulated power to each burn-in board. With 16 high-current and 8 low-current supplies per burn-in board, a wide range of individual supplies for miscellaneous support circuitry is available. With 50% more power supplies than an HPB-5C, double the number of temperature control channels than an LC-2, and up to 32 user-defined independent pattern zones, the LC-3 is the future of burn-in.

Having 128 formatted vector I/O channels and 128 unformatted BIB input signals to each burn-in board gives the LC-3 a large number of test capabilities for testing a variety of device types.

Micro Control Company has over 50 years of experience as a manufacturer of automatic test equipment and burn-in/environmental systems for the semiconductor industry. Innovative system design has made us the leader in high-power logic burn-in systems with individual temperature control (ITC).
