What is electrostatic discharge (ESD) testing?

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) testing is performed to test the susceptibility of ICs and electronic devices to ESD. ESD tests are broadly divided into device- and system-level tests. These are go/no-go tests that simply determine whether equipment under test (EUT) is destroyed by ESD.

What is a standard model for ESD testing?

Conventional models for the ESD immunity tests include a human body model (HBM), a machine model (MM), and a charged device model (CDM). All DUT pins are subject to ESD tests. Protection circuits in the DUT provide device-level ESD protection.

Should electrostatic discharge (ESD) testing be a supplement to IEC standards?

Abstract: Expanded explanations, best practices, and guidance for avoiding the pitfalls associated with electrostatic discharge (ESD) testing to IEC and other international ESD standards are provided and should be considered a supplement to these standards, rather than a replacement.

What models are used for ESD testing?

These test procedures are based on the two primary models of ESD events: Human Body Model (HBM) and Charged Device Model (CDM). The models used to perform component testing cannot replicate the full spectrum of all possible ESD events.

What is the purpose of the ESD standard?

It is intended to supplement and complement test methods commonly used for demonstrating compliance with ESD requirements such as IEC 61000-4-2. For completeness, the test methods and parameters described herein reference that ESD standard.

What is static electricity & electrostatic discharge (ESD)?

Many people have experienced static electricity and "shocks", or electrostatic discharge (ESD) when touching a metal doorknob after walking across a carpeted floor or after sliding across a car seat. However, static electricity and ESD have created serious industrial problems for centuries.
