The process of operating a power supply (usually at full load), typically in an elevated ambient temperature, immediately after manufacture This process is useful in eliminating early life failures
The operation of a newly fabricated device or system prior to application with the intent to stabilize the device, detect defects, and expose infant mortality In power supplies, a period during which a supply is energized and loaded to peak output, with the intent of finding potentially weak components Typical burn-in tests can include temperature cycling, input cycling, and/or load cycling
A technique used in printing photographs where by selected areas of an image are given more exposure than the rest, thus making them more dark, or burned Other areas are shaded from the light during this time, called dodging
