Patent ID: 7432729

Claim:
A method of testing comprising: testing a first electronic device using a first set of conditions, wherein the first electronic device comprises a first die and a first temperature sensor; determining first currents drawn by the first electronic device through a power supply connection of the first electronic device during testing the first electronic device using the first set of conditions; measuring first die temperatures for the first electronic device during testing the first electronic device using the first set of conditions, wherein measuring is performed using the first temperature sensor; generating first temperature-current data in a form of a first equation or a first table based at least in part on the first die temperatures and the first currents drawn by the first electronic device; testing a second electronic device using the first set of conditions, wherein the second electronic device comprises a second die and a second temperature sensor; determining a second current drawn by the second electronic device through a power supply connection of the second device during testing the second electronic device; estimating a second die temperature for the second electronic device during testing using the first set of conditions, wherein estimating is performed using the second current in conjunction with the first equation, the first table, or any combination thereof.
