  • control means electrically connected to a plurality of different electronic devices undergoing burn-in comprising at least one group of electronic devices of the same type undergoing burn-in and at least another group of electronic devices of a different type undergoing burn-in for providing at least one of an electrical current and voltage of the same characteristics for burning in to said one group of electronic devices of the same type undergoing burn-in and for simultaneously providing at least one of an electrical current and voltage of different characteristics for burning in to said another group of electronic devices of a different type undergoing burn-in;

    burn-in driver means for both applying for an extended period of time the same electrical currents and voltages to said one group of electronic devices of the same type undergoing burn-in and for applying different electrical currents and voltages to said another group of electronic devices of a different type undergoing burn-in to test and burn-in all of the groups of electronic devices; and

    identification means coupled to said control means for identifying the devices of said one group of electronic devices of the same type undergoing burn-in and identifying the devices of said another group of electronic devices of a different type undergoing burn-in;

    said control means responding to said identification means for controlling a sequence of tests to said one group of electronic devices and a different sequence of tests to said another group of electronic devices and for changing said sequence of tests as required by either said one group of electronic devices or said another group of electronic devices.
