Abstract

Embodiments are directed to a system for measuring a degradation characteristic of a plurality of electronic components. The system includes a parallel stress generator communicatively coupled to the plurality of electronic components, and a serial electronic measuring component communicatively coupled to the plurality of electronic components. The parallel stress generator is configured to generate a plurality of stress signals, apply the plurality of stress signals in parallel to the plurality of electronic components and remove the plurality of stress signals from the plurality of electronic components. The serial electronic measuring component is configured to, subsequent to the removal of the plurality of stress signals, sequentially measure the degradation characteristic of each one of the plurality of electronic components in order to determine their degradation resulting from the applied stress signals.
