QST test. ESD option consists of EPS-100 and waveform module. EPS-100 is a power supply, capable of producing +/- 100V with 0.003V resolution. It is universal for all waveform modules. Due to calibration for more precise HBM and MM amplitude, the waveform module may require voltages slightly higher than 100, which is not supported by EPS-100.
ESD option is ready. You can fire single pulses from File HardwareConfig EPS100Lib User menu, or run an ESD Sweep test. If you are installing the EPS-100 option on the new PC, you need to install the NIDAQmx 9.7 software. The NIDaqmx Core link is available on www.us-isi.com...

EPS-100 Manual Integral Solutions Int’l August 22, 2013 4. Charge Device Model (CDM) 4.1 Mechanical Alignment According to CDM standard, the head’s suspension must be grounded. In most cases suspension holder serves that purpose, while in other, the suspension is pressed against CDM chassis by flex clamp.
EPS-100 Manual Integral Solutions Int’l August 22, 2013 4.2 Monitoring Waveform CDM waveform module charges the head to desired voltage and then grounds it, which creates a very fast current transient from the charge accumulated on the head. The pulse is very fast with the rise time up to 500pS and pulse width up to 1nS.
EPS-100 Manual Integral Solutions Int’l August 22, 2013 4.3 ESD Standard The standard shown here applies to pulses produced by ISI DCDM waveform modules and should treated as such. The values should be used for verification of the CDM waveform module device with 5pF and 12pF calibration capacitors.

August 22, 2013 4.4 Calibration Use one of the calibration capacitors to verify the CDM waveform. Turn on the EPS-100. If running Quasi97 software then exit from it and run EPS-100 application. Also remove the CDM cartridge from the 2xHGA tooling.

EPS-100 Manual Integral Solutions Int’l August 22, 2013 BlazerX5 version of the CDM waveform module has pogopins on the other side of the board. For verification of the waveform, the module has to be mounted on the support plate and the calibration disk should be mounted on a shim, as shown on the picture below.
EPS-100 Manual Integral Solutions Int’l August 22, 2013 4.5 CDM Operation The following block diagram is provided for better understanding of the operation of the waveform module. It is created to show the charge device model ESD standard. The actual waveform module circuit may be slightly different.
To switch from MM to HBM, simply remove the two screws on the topside of the waveform module and disconnect three cables from it (EPS-100 cable, QST and pogo-pin board connection). The waveform module should come off and you can install another one (HBM or MM) in its place.
EPS-100 Manual Integral Solutions Int’l August 22, 2013 5.2 Monitoring Waveform To monitor current going through the head install a CT-1 probe on the wire going from J4 Pin2 on the cartridge- style waveform module to the FIC board. For the box-style modules mount CT-1 on the wire going from pin2 of “HEAD”...
EPS-100 Manual Integral Solutions Int’l August 22, 2013 5.3 ESD Standard Machine Model charges a 200pF capacitor and fires the accumulated charge into the head. The standard shown here applies to pulses produced by ISI MM waveform modules and should treated as such.
EPS-100 Manual Integral Solutions Int’l August 22, 2013 5.4 Calibration To verify calibration of the machine module, mount a CT-1 probe to monitor the ESD pulse. Connect a 0Ω resistor instead of the head and fire a 10V pulse. Verify the peak amplitude and ringing frequency against that in the MM spec.
EPS-100 Manual Integral Solutions Int’l August 22, 2013 5.5 MM Operation The following block diagram is provided for better understanding of the operation of the waveform module. It is created to show the machine model ESD standard. The actual waveform module circuit may be slightly different.
EPS-100 Manual Integral Solutions Int’l August 22, 2013 6. Human Body Model (HBM) 6.1 Monitoring Waveform Capturing the waveform of HBM pulse requires the same setup as on Machine Model. To monitor current going through the head install a CT-1 probe on the wire going from J4 Pin2 on the cartridge-style waveform module to the FIC board.
EPS-100 Manual Integral Solutions Int’l August 22, 2013 6.2 ESD Standard Human Body Model charges 100pF capacitor and fires accumulated charge through the 1500Ω resistor into the head. The standard shown here applies to pulses produced by ISI HBM waveform modules and should treated as such.
EPS-100 Manual Integral Solutions Int’l August 22, 2013 6.3 Calibration To verify calibration of the human body module, mount a CT-1 probe to monitor the ESD pulse. Connect a 0Ω resistor instead of the head and fire a 7V and 50V pulse. Verify the peak amplitude, rise and decay times against the HBM spec.
EPS-100 Manual Integral Solutions Int’l August 22, 2013 6.4 HBM Operation The following block diagram is provided for better understanding of the operation of the waveform module. It is created to show the human body model ESD standard. The actual waveform module circuit may be slightly different.
EPS-100 Manual Integral Solutions Int’l August 22, 2013 7. ESD Sweep Test ESD option allows you to fire a sequence of pulses and monitor head performance during the sweep. To enable it run Quasi97, go to Add-Ins Modules and enable ESDApp.application. ESDApp is a test that will use your ESD option to fire pulses into the head and will run transfer curve (or any other test) to see how the head had degraded.
Install PCI-6503 card in one of the available PCI slots in the comuter Install the shelf for EPS-100 on the right side of the tester (leaving the 50pin ribbon cable between the shelf then the right panel of the Blazer).

EPS-100 Manual Integral Solutions Int’l August 22, 2013 Mount the EPS-100 on the shelf and connect all cables to it. Remove one from bar magnet assembly and install the waveform module holder. Page 24...
EPS-100 Manual Integral Solutions Int’l August 22, 2013 8.2 Monitoring the waveform on Bar HBM/MM Unlike the standard HBM/MM cartridges, the BlazerX5 HBM/MM don’t have connectors for the flex guide cables. Instead the have pogo-pins which connect to the probe card PCB. BlazerX5 HBM/MM waveform modules have a special slot in the enclosure specifically for the CT-6 installation.

To monitor the waveform on a real head, you need to load a bar in Barcont, then select “Stress” location, move to a slider on the bar and click “Probe”. You can open the EPS-100 main menu from the ESD Sweep Test option, and then fire single pulses using EPS-100.
EPS-100 Manual Integral Solutions Int’l August 22, 2013 8.3 Changing the Waveform Module To change the waveform module, first remove the waveform module assembly from stress probe card base and then unscrew the two screws holding the waveform module to the assembly (as shown on the picture below).
(instead of QST2002). You also need to enable ESDApp.Application module in the Quasi97 selected modules menu. When running, the ESD Sweep test will tell barcont to move to stress location, then tell EPS-100 to apply ESD voltage, then tell barcont to move to test location and run tests in Quasi97.
EPS-100 Manual Integral Solutions Int’l August 22, 2013 9. High Field ESD Stress Option HBM and MM ESD modules are fully compatible with High Field tester, CDM module requires a rework. For more information and operation specifications please refer to QST-2002-HF User’s Manual.
