Abstract :
There are no standards for establishing equipment capability to handle devices of known ESD sensitivity. Prior papers established that voltages on components correlate to CDM test voltages. But current in the discharge damages devices, not the voltage. This paper describes a procedure and test fixture for discharge current measurements in equipment to compare with discharges of CDM testing.
