Figure 2: Human Body Model Current Waveform for MIL-STD-883. The second HBM standard was developed to define potential levels of exposure to products and systems by users through either contact or air ...

3. Current waveform for the human-body model. (From MIL-STD-883E: Figure 3015-2, p. 6 of Method 3015.7) A rise time of less than 10 ns should be satisfied with a peak current not exceeding 10% of ...

Human body model (HBM)—Think of this event as that time you walked across the carpet and then touched the metal doorknob. Charged device model ... In short, the ESD protection circuit designs aren’t ...

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is caused by the discharge of an excess or deficiency of electrons on one surface with respect to another surface or to ground. When a static charge is present on an ...

There have traditionally been three different ESD models: the human-body model (HBM), the charged-device model (CDM), and the machine model (MM). They are governed by different JEDEC standards: ...

Board-level ESD often involves the machine model (MM) and human body model (HBM). Victim circuits are damaged by a high transient voltage that rises in a few nanoseconds and discharges in roughly ...

The third block is an electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection circuit consisting of organic diodes. It protects the flexible sensors from being damaged by the static electricity of a human body. It ...

If you really want to know how tough such protection can be, check out the DO-160 Aerospace requirements for lightning induced transients. Short summery: one of the worst transients spikes is ...

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection is an essential facet in the design and operation of modern integrated circuits (ICs). As electronic devices become increasingly miniaturised and complex ...
