ADVANCE INFORMATION for pre-production products; subject to change without notice.
International Electronic Commission (IEC) 61000-4-xx is a set of about 25 testing specifications from the IEC. IEC ESD Stressing is done both un-powered and with power applied, and with the device functioning. There must be no physical damage, and the device must keep working normally after the conclusion of the stressing. Typically, equipment has to pass IEC stressing at 8 kV contact and 15 kV air discharge, or higher. To market products/systems in the European community, all products/systems must be CE compliant and have the CE Mark. To obtain the CE Mark, all products/systems need to go through and pass IEC standard requirements; for ESD, it is 61000-4-2. 61000-4-2 requires that the products/systems pass contact discharge at 8 kV and air discharge at 15 kV. When performing an IEC ESD Stressing, only pins accessible to the outside world need to pass the test. The system into which the integrated circuit (IC) is placed makes a difference in how well the IC does. For example:
