The Key to Successful ESD Protection: GND Pattern Design and Use of ESD Protection Components

For electronic device design, it is important to allow necessary signals to pass while to block unwanted signals (noise). Some pattern designs of a printed circuit board (PCB) can be influenced by ESD (electrostatic discharge).
This article introduces experiments to verify how GND pattern design and ESD protection components can be utilized to provide effective ESD protection.
In addition, TDK can conduct ESD tests compliant with IEC61000-4-2 and ISO10605 standards as well as can measure ESD suppression voltage waveforms. Furthermore, we can measure ESD current using the ESD visualization system described in this article.
