1.0 INTRODUCTION The rapid advancement in the electronics industry during the past decade has placed an increasing importance on the understanding of electrostatics and its effect on electronic devices and systems. Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is a common cause of microelectronic circuit failure.

The Model 9903 Charge Device Test Fixture shown in Figure 1.0-1 is a completely integrated unit that provides the means of performing both direct charge and field induced CDM tests. IMPRORTANT NOTE The Model 9903 only provides the means to perform CDM testing. It does not produce verification waveforms that meet all the requirements specified in the test standards referenced above.

400 MegOhm series resistor in the charging circuit. The Model 9903 in conjunction with either the ETS Model 910 with CDM modification or the Model 9910 enables the user to perform both Field Induced and Direct Charge tests.

Figure 2.0-2: DUT Holding Fixture The spring-loaded pins (Interconnect Devices Series S, Size 3) shown in Figure 2.0-3 are interchangeable. Three types are provided. They are round tip (J) for pad terminals, cup tip (G) for DIP style legs, and point tip (B) for very small contact points. Figure 2.0-3: Spring-loaded pin configurations To change pins raise the test head to the top by loosening the lever on the rear.

3.0 SET UP The Model 9903 is designed to work with a minimum 1 GHz/4Gsample oscilloscope with 50 Ohm input. It is connected to the oscilloscope via a 2’ (61cm), 50 Ohm, low loss, semi-rigid cable. System Set Up 3.1.1 Set-Up (Model 910 modified for CDM) Connect the CDM Test Fixture to the Model 910 as shown in Figure 3.0-1.

Figure 3.0-4: Direct Charge connections 6.4 Waveform Verification The Model 9903 only provides the means to perform CDM testing. It does not produce verification waveforms that meet all the requirements specified in the test standards referenced above. These deviations are small, but may be outside the limits specified.

Adapter limits the voltage to just the low range of 2000V. For the Model 9910, select the CDM function. This limits the voltage to 1000V. Under no circumstances should the Model 9903 be operated above 2000V. This will destroy the timing relays.) Depress and release the Charge button on the Fixture module.
