Among the causes of equipment malfunction, problems caused by ESD (electrostatic discharge) are the most difficult events against which to incorporate protective measures,since the causal relation generally cannot be found easily.
Air discharge testing, which is affected by numerous variable factors, is a widely adopted test method,since the actual ESD events in the field are air discharges.
In the contact discharge method, the discharge current rises extremely quickly, approximately 1ns, independent of ESD charge voltage. In addition, the proportional relationship between the ESD charge voltages and current peaks can be obtained, allowing the engineer to define the ESD susceptibility of the equipment under test in terms of charge voltage. This simulator is designed to conduct both contact and air discharge testing.
FEATURES
1. Output waveforms prescribed by IEC 61000-4-2 are available. In addition, various waveforms can be generated by changing the discharge capacitor and discharge resistor.
2. Since the charge/discharge capacitor, resistor and discharge relay are incorporated in the gun, ESS-2000 is capable of generating current with a stable rise independent of applied voltage, making it possible to conduct a reproducible test.
3. The four computer-controlled test modes enable the user to conduct a one touch test at each level prescribed by IEC. User may set his own program and the voltage level may also be set to change continuously.
4. Controllable from an external computer using various communication interfaces.
