Abstract :
ESD protection devices are placed on circuit boards to protect integrated circuits from ESD stress to systems. There are no generally accepted standards for characterizing the ESD performance of such devices. This article will make recommendations for the proper procedures for characterizing off chip ESD protection devices.
