Testing for immunity to electrostatic discharge (ESD), from cell phones to computers, is usually done with the IEC 61000-4-2 standard. 1 But IEC61000-4-2 is purely a systems-level test spec, not a ...

With the pervasiveness of power management techniques like clock gating and power gating, transient power is on the rise, accompanied by the requirement to closely examine a system for such phenomenon ...

All semiconductor components have been proven to be static sensitive to varying degrees. Users’ concerns on this subject has resulted in a significant effort being expended on the following areas: ...

Abstract: The setup and the pulse generator for automotive component ESD testing are defined in the standard ISO 10605. Usually the DUT is placed directly on a horizontal coupling plane (HCP) or on a ...

Remcom has updated its XFdtd 3D electromagnetic (EM) simulation software with transient EM/circuit co-simulation for electrostatic discharge (ESD) testing and support for transient voltage suppressor ...

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is a subclass of electrical overstress and may cause immediate device failure, permanent parameter shifts and latent damage causing increased degradation rate. This ...

The human body is the primary source of electrostatic charge generation. To control and reduce static charge build-up and prevent electrostatic discharges (ESD) at an electronic equipment facility, ...

ESD stands for electrostatic discharge, and describes the transfer of electrostatic charge between two objects. The resulting discharge from an electron imbalance may be so small that the human body ...
