Coupling of ESD-generated EMP (electromagnetic pulse) to electronics

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6761634
Electrostatic discharges (ESD) can generate an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) which can couple into electronic circuits. Analytical and experimental models of this coupling demonstrate that, under some circumstances, the energy coupled to an integrated circuit on a printed circuit board is proportional to the product of the peak E- field and the derivative of the E-field. 4 refs., 3 figs.
