Abstract

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) generators do not match each other, nor do the currents and fields from the discharge of a human via a piece of metal match those from ESD generators. A more realistic characterization of the field performance of a device under test (DUT) can be achieved using human subjects. To avoid using actual humans, while still achieving similar results, a full-size dummy has been designed. Its performance is verified by comparing it to currents and fields from human ESD and ESD generators.
