Abstract

An equivalent circuit modeling was proposed for simulating the discharge current injected in contact with an ESD-gun, which is being prescribed in the IEC 61000-4-2. Based on the structure and dimension of the ESD-gun, all the circuit parameters were determined from both calculation and measurement. The equivalent circuit derived here was validated by comparing the calculated waveform of the discharge current with the measured result.
