Cable discharge events occur when a cable, such as ethernet, HDMI, or USB, is plugged into a system whose potential differs enough to cause an electrostatic discharge. These discharges can be detrimental to the board or system. Factors such as cable charge level, cable length, and pin contact sequence can affect the severity of the discharge. ESDEMC provides a means of discharging different cable types of specific length and voltage into your board or system. Pin contact sequence can be controlled, and the electrical state of each pin can be set prior to discharge. The discharge current waveforms can be saved and captured for up to 8 pins, and failure analysis can be performed by request.
