  • Abstract
    Existing CDM Standards allow the use of limited bandwidth oscilloscopes that are unable to capture the true CDM discharge waveforms. This limitation allows significantly different pulses from different testers to meet the standards, resulting in inconsistent results from stressed devices. Different failure thresholds have been obtained from the same devices using different testers that all comply with the industry CDM standards.
