📢 Exciting News from ipTEST! 📢 We're thrilled to introduce our latest innovation, the DS6 Pulsar! 🌟 Building on the legacy of its predecessors, the DS6 Pulsar pushes the boundaries of power semiconductor testing, specifically engineered for zero-defect industries like automotive. It simulates real-life stress events that devices experience throughout their operational life, ensuring unparalleled reliability. The DS6 Pulsar is versatile across all stages of device manufacturing—from wafer, Known Good Die (KGD), and packaged devices to power modules. Here’s what makes the DS6 Pulsar stand out: ⚡ Performance: -Test devices at extensive current and voltage ratings to meet automotive standards like AEC-Q101 and AQG 324. -Features minimal parasitic inductance for fast ramp times and high-quality, critically damped test waveforms. (Check out our latest LinkedIn article for more insights! 😉) ⚙️ Testing Flexibility: -Conducts a wide range of tests with automatic data logging for efficient processing. -Comprehensive testing for different device types through an interchangeable output board. 🛡️ SocketSafe Overcurrent Protection: -Safeguards your investment by protecting the contactor and test generator if the device under test develops a fault. -Reduces reactive maintenance needs, saving on costs and maximizing production uptime. Thanks to our dedicated team, the DS6 Pulsar is poised to redefine power semiconductor testing and set new industry standards. Interested in learning more?

⏳ ipTEST’s Captured Time Capsule ⌛️   In 1997, we shipped our 100th system, marking a significant milestone for our dedicated team! Today, as we reflect on our journey from humble beginnings to becoming a recognized leader in the industry, we are proud of the global impact we’ve made 🌍.   Over the past 25 years, shifting market priorities have driven us to continuously innovate, leading to the development of groundbreaking products that redefine power testing. This relentless pursuit of excellence has now been recognized by the Microtest SpA Group, a global leader in semiconductor testing, which recently acquired ipTEST.   Joining the Microtest Group, which reports over €80 million in revenue and a workforce of more than 400 employees, allows us to further enhance our capabilities and reach. This acquisition strengthens our position in the testing of silicon carbide (SiC) and gallium nitride (GaN) semiconductors, pivotal for the ongoing energy transition and electric vehicle industries. 🔋🚗   We're thrilled to see what the future holds for ipTEST with its current expanded horizons! A heartfelt thank you to our incredible team and loyal customers for being part of our journey, until our next time capsule! #SiC #GaN #PowerElectronics #Semiconductorindustry

We are proud to announce that ipTEST have joined the Microtest SpA group of companies.

🔌The Crucial Role of Minimizing Parasitic Inductance in Power Device Testing 🔌 In the world of power electronics, the devil is in the details. Parasitic inductance, often overlooked, plays a critical role in the performance and safety of power device testing. Especially with Wide Bandgap (SiC and GaN) devices that require fast switching, reducing parasitic inductance can make all the difference. Dive into our latest article to discover how mastering this subtle yet significant factor can enhance and future-proof your testing processes! #PowerElectronics #MOSFET #SiC #GaN #TechInnovation

🎓 Exciting Day at ipTEST! 🎓 In collaboration with Surrey Research Park, we were delighted to recently host a group of soon-to-be graduates from the University of Surrey at our facilities. It was an exciting day filled with exploration and learning as these bright young minds toured our cutting-edge testers, interacted with our team, and gained first-hand insights into the innovative semiconductor testing solutions we develop. The enthusiasm and curiosity of the students were truly inspiring as they delved into the real-world applications of their studies and saw the impact of novel technology in action. Our team enjoyed sharing their knowledge and experiences, highlighting the critical role that advanced semiconductor testing plays in industries worldwide. A special thank you to Surrey Research Park for partnering with us to make this event possible. At ipTEST, we are passionate about supporting and nurturing future generations. By fostering such connections, we can drive forward the boundaries of technology and innovation together. Here’s to the future of engineering and to empowering these talented graduates as they embark on their exciting careers! #ipTEST #UniversityOfSurrey #SurreyResearchPark #FutureTalent #Innovation #Engineering #Technology #STEM #CareerDevelopment

For the second year running, ipTEST has been honoured with the King's Award for Enterprise! 👑🏆 We are very proud to announce that we've won the award in the International Trade category, in recognition of the success of our Testers which are used around the world to test the next generation of wide bandgap power devices. It has been an amazing team effort and we are all proud to celebrate our success. #KingsAwards #SiC  #GaN #IGBT #Semiconductorindustry #Powerelectronics

Our wonderful team spent a day volunteering at the Foundation Centre at Royal Surrey County Hospital. They helped to clear and tidy an overgrown garden next to the garden room, where children who have been affected by cancer go for counselling. A big thank you to Tim, Juan, Inna, Demos, Victoria, Emily and Mel for all their hard work. #volunteering #gardening

In April 2023 ipTEST received the exciting news that we had won the King’s Award for Enterprise in the innovation category. These prestigious awards are presented in person by a representative of the Royal family and last week it was ipTEST's turn! ipTEST were honoured to host HRH The Duke of Gloucester alongside Mrs Frances Rutter (Deputy Lieutenant of Surrey). HRH was shown a short presentation about the company with an overview of our different testers and their capabilities. Then we took a tour around our factory where HRH met the ipTEST team and gave a short presentation to the company. The award was presented to our Managing Director, Dr Conor McCarthy and our Technical Director, Demos Malaos. HRH was very impressed with our range of products and how they are helping to further the advances of greener energy sources.   To be recognised for our success has been a great achievement. It was a very proud day for everyone at ipTEST. #KingsAwards #Powerelectronics #Sic #GaN #Semiconductorindustry
