<p>An apparatus and method for controlling temperature in a device under test (DUT) having an integrated circuit chip die includes a temperature sensing device, such as a temperature sensitive diode, integrally formed in the chip die. A sensing circuit (23) senses a signal from the diode (204) indicative of temperature of the chip die. The sensing circuit can be part of a testing circuit in a system being used to test the DUT. The sensing circuit sends a control signal to a temperature control system (24) used to control the temperature of a DUT temperature control medium. The temperature control medium can be, for example, a stream of temperature-controlled air directed onto the package of the DUT. In response to the control signal, the temperature control system controls the temperature of the air at a desired temperature to control (241) the temperature of the DUT.</p> |
