Individual integrated circuits are normally sample tested for Human Body
Model, Machine Model, and charge coupled device models. In any pin and
out any other pin. So 61000-4-2 can certainly be used to test an IC. 4
kV is a common design goal for HBM.

Subject: misapplication of system level standards

Hi Everyone,

In my travels I have visited many clients who are asked by their
customers to apply inappropriate tests to system components (with no
technical justification). This has inspired me to write an article
about it.

This month's Technical Tidbit (link is the picture of a chip and ESD
simulator at the bottom of the page at http://emcesd.com ) deals with
system level test standards being applied to internal devices or
modules. If you design or test IC chips or modules that are included
in a larger system design, this is a must read article for you.

Abstract: A trend in component testing has been developing in recent
years. Vendors of system components are being required by their
customers, equipment manufacturers, to apply inappropriate system
level tests to system components such as chips or modules. One such
case of misapplication of a system test to IC chips is explored and
implications discussed.
