devised to reduce the unpredictability of the ESD
arc. The discharge current rise time is constant
since the energy is directly transferred without the
air-gap arc. In situations such as hand held systems,
the ESD charge can be directly discharged to the
equipment from a person already holding the
equipment. The current is transferred on to the
keypad or the serial port of the equipment directly and
then travels through the PCB and finally to the IC.
The circuit model in Figures 18 and 19 represent
the typical ESD testing circuit used for all three
methods. The CS is initially charged with the DC
power supply when the first switch (SW1) is on.
Now that the capacitor is charged, the second
switch (SW2) is on while SW1 switches off. The
voltage stored in the capacitor is then applied
through RS, the current limiting resistor, onto the
device under test (DUT). In ESD tests, the SW2
switch is pulsed so that the device under test
receives a duration of voltage.
For the Human Body Model, the current limiting
resistor (RS) and the source capacitor (CS) are
1.5kΩ an 100pF, respectively. For IEC-1000-4-2,
the current limiting resistor (RS) and the source
capacitor (CS) are 330Ω an 150pF, respectively.

The higher C value and lower R value in the

S
IEC1000-4-2 model are more stringent than the
Human Body Model. The larger storage capacitor
injects a higher voltage to the test point when SW2
is switched on. The lower current limiting resistor
increases the current charge onto the test point.
