ESD Association Technical Report - Machine Model (MM) Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Investigation – Reduction in Pulse Number and Delay Time
The proliferation of high pin-count package configurations within the electronics industry has resulted in increasing stress times for all Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) test methodologies and models. One of these ESD models, Machine Model (MM), is an electrostatic simulation approximating the discharge event produced by machinery, furniture, or automated handling equipment. Present MM test methodology requires the application of three ESD pulses to a pin under test using several stressing configurations (referred to as pin combinations). Further requirements state that a one second delay between consecutive ESD pulses must be used.
