Setup
This section describes the intended use of the EVM. A generalized outline of the procedure given in IEC-
61000-4-2 is described here. IEC-61000-4-2 should be referred to for a more specific testing outline. Basic
configurations for collecting S-parameters and ESD clamping waveforms are outlined as well.
3.1
U1
TPD6F002-Q1 (U1) can be used for destructive electrostatic discharge (ESD) pass/fail ESD strikes.
Specifically, for both IEC-61000-4-2 air and contact discharge tests. The following procedure ensures
proper testing setup and methods for both discharge tests. Each IO has a Test Pad (TP1 – TP6) directly
connected to it.
