The charged-device model (CDM) test is the most accurate component-level test as far as simulating real world events. CDM testing simulates ESD charging followed by a rapid discharge, similar to ...

According to most recent studies, less than 10% of all documented damage actually came from ungrounded personnel touching ESD sensitive products (HBM). The most common form of ESD damage is reportedly ...

As the work of the ESD Council progresses, more OEMs have been joining the Council. Changes to ESD Qualification Levels Based on the vast experience of leading experts from the fields of IC ...

The most commonly used ESD test models are the Human Body Model (HBM) and the Charged Device Model (CDM). Both models assess the ESD sensitivity of a device, however due to the rapid growth in ...

There are three main test models for ESD tests: the human body model (HBM), the charge device model (CDM), and the machine model (MM). HBM simulates ESD due to discharge from human beings.

While these circuits can protect either ESD model, there will typically be one circuit sized for HBM and another for CDM. Series resistors may be added in either case to help divide the overall ...

layout based full-chip analysis of ESD events such as Human Body Model (HBM), Machine Model (MM) and Charged Device Model (CDM) ESD charging or discharging is a full-chip verification challenge.

Charged Device Model (CDM) simulates a situation in a manufacturing environment where the IC is tribo-electrically charged in a handler, for example, and then discharged upon contact with a grounded ...

AVX Corporation , a leading manufacturer and supplier of passive components and interconnect solutions, has released a new series of bidirectional ESD suppression diodes that combine the latest in ...
