Overview
Of all the electro magnetic susceptibility problems found during test and in the field, ESD is one of the toughest to overcome. With the growing consumer demand for reliability and availability, this timely book provides design engineers with a clear understanding of the ESD threat and offers a methodic, step-by-step attack to reduce its risk and test for immunity at all levels. Complete with case histories and their successful fixes, this is truly the most thorough and concise treatment of the broad ESD continuum available.Synopsis
A thorough and concise treatment of ESDRecognizing its methodic, step-by-step attack of the electrostatic discharge (ESD) problem, the initial release of this book was quoted by specialists as "the most thorough and concise treatment of the broad ESD continuum that is available." Now in its Third Edition, this book delivers the same trusted coverage of the topic while also incorporating recent technological advances that have taken place in the engineering community. The book begins with the basics of ESD for humans and objects, and goes on to cover:
Effects of ESD coupled to electronics
Principal ESD specifications
ESD diagnostics and testing
Design for ESD immunity
To help with troubleshooting, many ESD case histories are given along with their successful fixes. Electrostatic Discharge is essential reading for all designers who want to avoid component failures, no trouble found incidents, and random errors.
