Hi All, I have a treasure trove of data on most currently available ESD simulators for waveform purity and E-field emissions. The data took most of a week of my time to generate and $100,000+ of equipment, mostly donated for the purpose.
One clear message that comes out of the data is that by far the worst case ESD hit on a fast data rate system is not what you think it is. A 2kV air discharge applied a certain, common, way is worse than any other ESD event. Also in the data, we are testing for ESD stress that cannot happen in the environment, thereby wasting resources. Also in the data, you can pass or fail an ESD test, depending on what you want, by just selecting the right simulator! I am going to do a complimentary presentation of this data in July, normally a few thousand dollars, coupled with my three day, PCB/system debug class in July, sort of a two for one summer doldrums event. The class is actually lower cost than the data presentation normally would be. If interested, call, text, or email me for details.
