IEC ESD Simulator testing is a qualification requirement for designs, mostly system level. The system-level tests are well-outlined in the IEC standard and are often simply pass/fail. Device level tests are performed in the industry as well, but these tests are also often simply pass/fail. ESDEMC’s ESD Simulator Clamping measurements provide more than just pass/fail data for device-level ESD Simulator tests. Transient voltage for each applied ESD pulse is measured and provided for a better understanding of the DUT’s ESD clamping response. Standard ESD Simulator pulse levels are +/-8kV, but other levels can be applied upon request.
