[PSES] Extension of a method to measure voltage breakdown and charge objects

[Doug Smith]

Hi All, Just posted my Technical Tidbit for the month at http://emcesd.com or alternately http://DesertLabRat.com . Technical Tidbit - September 2012 Measuring Breakdown Voltage and Charging Objects With an ESD Simulator - Part 2 (A method that works with most ESD simulators) Abstract: Measuring breakdown voltage and charging objects using an ESD simulator are useful lab techniques for finding problems in a system design related to charging or breakdown such as those related to ESD or lightning. The July Technical Tidbit covered a simple method using a specific ESD simulator for this purpose. A general method is presented here that can be used with most ESD simulators.
