In this success case, we present a complete Lot Acceptance Test (LAT) sequence that involves a high volume of tests (Mechanical, Environmental, Radiation, Assembly, ESD,..). But, on this occasion, the most tricky test to carry out was the Endurance test, where 12 lasers from different wavelengths (NIR, SWIR1, and SWIR3, from 350nm to 5um) were powered at their nominal current during 1000 hours while in vacuum conditions.

A Lot Acceptance Test (LAT) is a reduced set of Qualification tests over components or equipment, required to accept a specific manufacturing lot for its use. A LAT sequence allows customers to have complete traceability of the components they are going to use in their application, starting from the wafer used during manufacturing.

Prevention of damage to the electronic circuit can be accomplished using multiple suppression devices. Multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) are one of the solutions used to protect components from ESD damage. Since integrated circuits (ICs) are most prone to damage by ESD, MLCCs are placed close to the board connection contacts or directly next to the IC connections in order to absorb and then level the unwanted voltage spikes.
