· EXECUTIVE SUMMARY. A key change instituted in the 4 th edition of the medical EMC standard 6, 4 th ed, is to test practically all medical devices up to ESD level 4, 15KV air discharge, and 8KV direct discharge. Whereas in the 3 rd ed only life support and critical medical devices required this relatively high ESD test voltage.
Protection against electrostatic discharges (ESD) is part of EMC Immunity (Electro Magnetic Compatibility) requirements. It is the ability for equipment to properly operate in its electromagnetic environment by limiting the reception of electromagnetic energy that may cause physical damage. ESD can be either conducted under the form of a ...
· The electronic parts that are sensitive to ESD voltage are called ESD-sensitive components. ESD damages are dependent on an ESD component’s voltage withstanding capabilities as well as its heat dissipation capabilities. LEDs are extremely ESD-sensitive, with effects ranging from reduced life expectancy to catastrophic damage.
· ESD design documents so that product ESD design is addressed properly from the beginning. 3.2.1 ESD Design Checker The layout and circuit connections of an IC product are very complex and can lead to numerous unexpected errors even for simple ESD designs. The ESD Checker is a sophisticated software tool
· Multilayer circuit boards are required if filter capacitors are connected to the circuit ground; two-sided boards are not sufficient. CONCLUSION. The first line of defense in fighting ESD problems is to prevent discharge from occurring directly to the equipment. When discharge cannot be prevented, a significant burden is placed on the shielding.
· 8-kV ESD strike to less than 5 kV, with C ISO equal to 100 pF. Figure 3b shows the attenuation of a 4-kV EFT pulse to less than 2 kV, with C ISO = 1 nF. Only a few signal-isolation technologies available in the market today (Texas Instruments reinforced isolators included) can handle 8-kV ESD and 4-kV EFT events across the barrier.
· Abstract. When troubleshooting a complex device, knowledge is king. We want, and need, to know everything relevant to the issue, including the proper IC revision number, where to find relevant reference materials, and who really knows what happened at the customer's site. Failure analysis of ICs requires a quick and proper response …
· Unfortunately, most foundries only have I/O circuits and ESD protection clamps built with thick-oxide transistors. Sofics has delivered a number of rad-hard I/O libraries for 1.2V applications in e.g. TSMC 65nm, TSMC 130nm, GF 130nm and TSMC 28nm technology. Besides degradation, radiation can also cause single event upsets.
· DoctorProf. Rail based ESD protection puts steering elements (usually diodes) on the inputs to and ESD Positive rail and an ESD Negative rail. These elements steer the charge to these rails. The rails are ususally VDD and GND but do not have to be. I have used floating rails dedicated to ESD also.

· Electrostatic discharge (ESD) occurs when two objects with different charges get close enough, or charged enough, to break down (ionize) the dielectric between them. For consumer products, ESD and dielectric breakdown in air usually occurs when the electric field between two points is greater than 40 kV/cm. Things like air pressure, temperature ...
· Although these problems can cause a lot of difficulties for manufacturing in that the part will have to be reworked, the larger problems are ESD discharges at lower levels of voltage. Lower levels of ESD will affect the metal and insulation of a part, but not to the point of complete failure. These issues are known as “latent defects,” and ...

· . To do something useful, a microcontroller (MCU) must be connected to other devices. This connection is made through input/output (I/O) pins. More times than not, these days pins are multifunctional and can connect to A/Ds, D/As, linear functions (such as op amps and comparators), voltage references, and more.

· b) Have sensitive components or wiring just behind. An ESD-hardened box does not have to be a 120dB Faraday cage. A large slot should not be a designer’s hang-up if it is far from any critical circuit. Fig. 7. ESD coupling via floating metal parts. They encourage capacitive coupling, especially near the edges and protruding areas.
· ESD and EMI Victims. As previously mentioned, ESD can cause both damage and upset. Damage is common when ESD is injected on an unprotected I/O pin – digital, analog, or even power. Upset is common at lower levels for digital circuits, while analog circuits are usually immune to ESD upset due to slow response times.
