4.3.3.1 Follow the Test Setup

  • Confirm the earth ground connection of the ESD test setup
    • Verify the ESD gun is properly connected to earth ground
    • Verify the power supply is connected to earth ground
    • Verify table ground is properly connected to earth ground through a 1MOhm termination
  • Verify there is a connection between connector ground and earth ground on both DUT and LP boards
    • Provide a return path for each ESD strike to flow to earth ground, preventing the connector ground from capacitively charging. Without a good return path for ESD noise, the connector ground can gain charge and worsen ESD performance. This is also dangerous for ESD testing, as significant charge can build and discharge to testers.

    • If the application prevents the RJ45 shield from connecting to earth ground, the recommendation is to connect the shield to a metal or conducted case (bigger conducted area) to provide a better radiated path for ESD noise to flow
  • Verify the PHYs, power supply, and Ethernet cable are placed on top of the insulator
    • This prevents noise from earth ground directly interfering with the system
  • Use a shielded cable for improved EMI performance
    • CAT6 cables have better performance than CAT 5E cables
