MULTI-POINT, MULTI-PARAMETER DATA ACQUISITION FOR MULTI-LAYER CERAMIC CAPACITOR TESTING

摘要

A method for testing at least one part, such as a multi-layer ceramic capacitor, includes charging, holding and/or discharging at least one part with respect to a programmed voltage over a predetermined period of time and periodically measuring at least one value corresponding to quality of each part to be tested while each part is being charged, held and discharged. The at least one value can be selected from a group consisting of voltage value, current value, leakage current value, capacitance value, dissipation factor value, and any combination thereof. Curves can be digitized from the periodically measured values collected while each part is being charged, held and discharged with respect to the programmed voltage.
