One of my customer is using OPT3001 in one of Product . Product level ESD requirement is 15kV (air) as per IEC61000-4-2.

Product plastic enclosure to PCB (component) distance only 3mm by air. What will happen ( Any damage to device ) if 15KV ESD strike is applied during ESD test . Can device handle 15KV ESD strike. Since top portion of device is expose Optical part.

Hi Dilip,

Have you taken a look at the ESD section of the datasheet. The OPT3001 can only take 2kV ESD using human body model. This is for the chip directly, but I still do not see how this would make it pass at the product level without additional protection. Please let me know you thoughts here.

Best,

Alex

Hi Dilip,

Following up, I confirmed that the 2kV is just at the device level and we do not make guarantees at the system level. It will depend on how much ESD the device will be exposed to and how much protection is provided at the system level.

Best,

Alex
