3.2.2.3.2.1 ESD IEC-61000-4-2 ESD Test
shows the ESD test setup. The IEC 610004-2 ESD test simulates an electrostatic discharge of
an operator directly onto an adjacent electronic component. An electrostatic charge usually develops in
low relative humidity and on low-conductivity carpets, or vinyl garments. To simulate a discharge event, an
ESD generator applies ESD pulses to the DUT, which can happen through direct contact with the DUT
(contact discharge), or through an air-gap (air-discharge). This is applied across signal inputs only. A
series of 10 negative and positive pulses were applied to the DUT in both power-on and power-off
conditions. The ESD strikes were given to the RJ45 connector metallic body and its pins. After the test,
the DUT was verified for functionality. The test results show the TIDA-010046 reference design can
withstand the required discharge (see
). There were no signs of any permanent failure or
damage. The DUT was found working normal as intended before and after the ESD strikes.
