What is ESD? Causes of esd Types of esd Examples Basic circuits Esd protection Applications Conclusion

If two items are at different electrostatic charge levels, as they approach one another, a spark or Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can occur. This rapid, spontaneous transfer of electrostatic charge can generate heat and melt circuitry in electronic components.

Static electricity:
Electrostatic electricity is an imbalance of positive and negative charges on the surface of objects.

Electrostatic induction:
This occurs when an electrically charged object is placed near a conductive object isolated from ground.

Walking across a carpet Zap from a door Improper grounding Lightning Unshielded cables Low humidity (hot and dry conditions)

It occurs when a strong electric field creates an ionized conductive channel in air.

A corona discharge occurs between a highly curved electrode and electrode of low curvature .

A brush discharge occurs between an electrode with a curvature between 5 mm and 50 mm and a voltage of about 500 kV/m.

The model is a simulation of the discharge which might occur when a human touches an electronic device.

Machine Model simulates a more rapid and severe electrostatic discharge from a charged machine, fixture, or tool.

The charge carriers which are dispersed over the complete IC and package discharge through the path with the lowest impedance.

ESD Protection Devices :

ESD protection devices attempt to divert a potentially damaging charge away from sensitive circuitry and protect the system from permanent damage

A parasitic capacitor here is too high to pass highfrequency signals without significant distortion.

Regular diodes can be used to clamp the ESD pulses to the power or ground rail so the current flow is always in the diode's forward direction.

Today the phenomena of ESD are better understood. Every month new discoveries are made. The range of new products to minimize these problems is growing and improving, and more sophisticated ways of hardening devices and circuit packs against ESD are being developed.
