Sudhakar,

Take a look at industry standards. As I remember from my years I spent in the 
semiconductor
industry, JEDEC standards were among those used to evaluate chips.

Pat,

I was watching this thread curiously…since it seems that Sudhakar’s question 
deals more with an
ESD test at chip level as opposed to testing a product.  One initial response 
mentioned EN
61000-4-2.  I wasn’t satisfied with that, because  EN 61000-4-2 is meant to 
test products, as
opposed to chips (my understanding anyway).  Pointing to the ESD association, 
as you did was a
good idea.

I seem to recall that ANSI may have some chip level ESD guidance?

Sorry that I can’t be of more assistance, as I deal with “products” where I 
work, not chips.
So, EN 61000-4-2 is the standard that I’m familiar with…which means that, in 
this case, the
only thing I’m good for is pointing out its shortcomings.

Sudhakar:

The ESD test standard EN61000-4-2 uses a 150pF/330ohm C-R combination, and is 
referred to as
the HMM model.  This will give much higher peak current than the HBM you 
mention.
Take a look at http://www.ce-mag.com/archive/03/03/henry.html.

The ESD Association references several different standards.  This might be a 
good place to
start:

Sudhakar
You might want to look at EN 61000-4-2 because this may be your
methodology and relevant standard.  I don't sell ESD generators but do a
search for ESD guns with the spec number (EN 61000-4-2) and you should
get a model to perform this type of testing.  Make sure you get the
right probes with ESD gun.

Subject: ESD HBM contact pad to pad testing.

Dear gurus of Regulatory compliance world.

We make memory cards like SD, Mini SD Transflash.  We are
required to comply with +/-4KV HBM ( 100pF/1500 Ohm) contact pad ( Pad
to Pad) per SD Association specification.

Does any one  knows about this pad to pad testing @ product
level ( Card)?

I am more interested in test instrumentation, methodology and
relevant standard.

I will appreciate any help on this.
