Thermal Management in Memory Test

Effective thermal management is essential for reliable memory validation, especially when testing at speed and under extended stress conditions.

## Thermal Profiles

Different memory technologies have distinct thermal characteristics:
- **DDR5:** Operating range -40°C to +125°C with active cooling
- **LPDDR5X:** Lower power but higher density requires careful thermal design
- **HBM3:** High power density requires integrated thermal solutions

## Best Practices

1. Always characterize the thermal profile of your test setup
2. Use forced air or liquid cooling for sustained testing
3. Monitor temperature at multiple points on the DUT
4. Implement thermal cycling profiles for reliability testing
