7 Electrostatic discharge immunity test configuration

A) discharge to the conductive surface and to the coupling plane; B) air discharge on the insulating surface.

7.1 Configuration of laboratory tests

The ground of the laboratory shall be provided with a ground reference plane, which shall be a thin metal sheet of copper or aluminum with a minimum thickness of 0.25 mm. Other metals may be used but they have a thickness of at least 0.65 mm.

The minimum size of the ground reference plane is 1*1m. The actual size depends on the size of the equipment under test, and each side should extend at least 0.5m beyond the equipment under test or the coupling board and connect it to the protective earthing system.

The coupling plate should be of the same metal and thickness as the ground reference plane, and a 470 Ω resistor cable at each end should be connected to the ground reference plane. These resistors should withstand the discharge voltage when the cable is placed on the ground reference plane. And has good insulation to avoid short circuit to the ground reference plane.

7.1.1 Desktop equipment

The test configuration consisted of a 0.8m high wooden table placed on a grounded reference plane

Place the horizontal coupling plate (HCP) area of ​​1.6m*0.8m, and isolate the test equipment and cable from the coupling plate with a 0.5mm thick insulating gasket.

If the EUT is too large to maintain a minimum distance of 0.1 m from each side of the horizontal coupling plate, another identical horizontal coupling plate should be used with a distance of 0.3 m from the short side of the first block. However, the table must be enlarged at this time. Or use two tables, these horizontal coupling plates must be welded together, and connected to the ground reference plane via another resistance cable

7.1.2 Floor-standing equipment

The test equipment and the cable are separated from the ground reference plane by an insulating bracket with a thickness of about 0.1 m.

8 Electrostatic discharge immunity test procedure

8.1 Climate conditions:

------- Ambient temperature: 15 ° C ~ 35 ° C ------- Relative humidity: 30% ~ 60% ------- Atmospheric pressure: 86Kpa ~ 106Kpa

8.2 Examination of the equipment under test

8.3 Implementation of the test

8.3.1 Discharge directly applied to the device under test

Electrostatic discharge is only applied to the points and surfaces that may be touched by the operator when the test equipment is normally used.

In order to determine the critical value of the fault, the test voltage should be gradually increased from the minimum value to the selected test voltage value, and the final test value should not exceed the specification value of the product to avoid damage to the equipment.

The test shall be carried out in a single discharge. At least 10 single discharges (most sensitive polarity) shall be applied at the preselected point.

The time interval between consecutive single discharges is recommended to be at least 1 s, but a longer interval may be required to determine if the system will fail.

The electrostatic discharge generator should be kept perpendicular to the surface on which the discharge is applied to improve the repeatability of the test results.

When discharging is performed, the distance between the discharge circuit cable of the generator and the device under test is at least 0.2m.

In the case of contact discharge, the top of the discharge electrode should be in contact with the device under test before the start of the operational discharge.

For surface painting, the following procedures should be used:

If the equipment manufacturer does not indicate that the paint film is an insulating layer, the electrode tip of the generator should be inserted into the paint film to make contact with the conductive layer. If the manufacturer specifies that the paint film is an insulating layer, only air discharge should be performed. Contact discharge test should be carried out.

In the case of air discharge, the circular discharge head of the discharge electrode should be as close as possible and re-touch the device under test. After each discharge, the discharge electrode of the ESD generator should be removed from the device under test and then triggered again. The generator, for a new single discharge, this procedure should be repeated until the discharge is completed. In the case of the air discharge test, the beginning of the discharge used as the contact discharge should be closed.

8.3.2 Indirect applied discharge

8.3.2.1 Horizontal coupling plate under the device under test

Applying at least 10 single discharges to the horizontal coupling plate at some point on each side of the device under test

In the case where the discharge electrode touches the coupling plate, the electrostatic discharge generator should be placed vertically at 0.1 m from the device under test.

8.3.2.2 Vertical coupling plate

Apply at least ten single discharges to the center of one vertical side of the coupling plate. The coupling plate with a size of 0.5 m*0.5 m should be placed parallel to the test equipment and kept at a distance of 0.1 m.

The discharge should be applied to the coupling plate. By adjusting the position of the coupling plate, the test equipment is subjected to the discharge test at different positions on all four sides.
