From the ESD advertising supplement to Test & Measurement World, September 2000. Defining the ESD Audit By tracking adherence to procedures overtime, ...

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is the sudden transfer of static electricity between two objects with different charge potentials, typically caused by near contact. Even the smallest discharge can ...

ESD events are notoriously difficult to simulate; test chips burn time and money, and do not address power bussing issues; design rules are meant to be broken; and innovation often occurs at the ...

The prior version of the new standard (JS-001-2010) merged two previously existing, similar test methods developed by ESDA and JEDEC, with the goal of establishing a unified procedure for testing ...

An ESD generator does an OK job approximating those test procedures, and it will duplicate an ESD test exactly. It’s not possible to emulate all required susceptibility tests using an ESD ...

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) continues to impact semiconductor components and systems as technologies scale from micro- to nano-electronics.

You thought your electrostatic-discharge protection was bulletproof, yet the IC still fried in test. Now what?
