Abstract

There is provided a dynamic burn-in test equipment being capable of testing a large number of multi-pin LSI chips in a short test time and at a low cost. The dynamic burn-in test equipment includes at least a thermostatic oven for storing DUTs, a driving unit for applying the input signal to the input terminal of each DUT to apply a predetermined expected value to the output terminal of each DUT, a power supply for applying a predetermined power supply voltage to each DUT through a higher level power supply line and a lower level power supply line (ground line), and a current detector arranged on at least one of the higher level power supply line and the lower level power supply line (ground line). The dynamic burn-in test equipment monitors a power supply current to detect a failure.
