Sandia severe electrostatic discharge tester: Version 3 (SSET), Serial Number: 1
This report documents the as-built operational performance of Sandia's Severe Electrostatic Discharge Tester Version-3 (SSET-3) SN:2 and lists the hardware and additional documentation delivered to Division 2174 on July 31, 1991. (The supplied items are listed.) The primary emphasis of this report is to provide a qualitative and quantitative evaluation of the SSET against requirements derived from the Severe Human Body ESD model (SHBESD) (1), which is defined in terms of an equivalent circuit (Figure 1.1) and a short-circuit current waveform (Figure 1.2). This report also presents supporting information on the calibration and verification of ancillary equipment used to assess the operation of the SSET. While the documentation of the verification and calibration of ancillary equipment is somewhat lengthy, it is considered necessary because the SSET may be used in situations where its output characteristics will be critically scrutinized. Thus, the supporting documentation is necessary to lend credibility to the performance/verification measurements made on the SSET. 5 refs., 36 figs.
