What it does

Controlled CPU-scale power maps for cooling, packaging and chiplet validation.

TTV16 recreates the thermal and electrical behavior of high-performance CPU architectures using a 40 × 40 mm monolithic or four-die chiplet platform. Twenty-four controllable heater zones and 56 on-die RTDs make localized power patterns and temperature gradients measurable and repeatable.

Engineering problem solved

Move from assumption to controlled, repeatable evidence.

CPU and chiplet packages no longer behave as uniform heat sources. TTV16 lets engineering teams reconstruct realistic workload patterns and quantify the resulting gradients before committing to functional silicon or final cooling hardware.

Typical applications

Where TTV16 creates value.

  • CPU and chiplet thermal architecture development
  • Air, liquid, cold-plate and vapor-chamber benchmarking
  • Localized hotspot and thermal spreading analysis
  • Thermal interface and package-stack qualification
  • Power cycling and interconnect health monitoring
