TIDA-00118: IEC61000-4-2 ESD level

Part Number: TIDA-00118

Dear Specialists,

I confirmed TIDA-00118 for analog output and has a question.

According to the application note, this design has passed +/-15kV air discharge and +/-8kV coupling discharge.

In this design, could it possible to understand IEC61000-4-2 level4?

I appreciate your great help in advance.

Best regards,

Shinichi

  • Hi Shinichi,

    According to the TIDA-00118 User's Guide :

    section 4.1.6 regarding circuit design and component selection

    “4.1.6 Filter and Protection for Surge, EFT and ESD

    The output stage is designed to withstand 8kV ESD, 1kV EFT and 1kV Surge”

    section 7.2.2 regarding test setup and test results

    “7.2.2 Electro Static Discharge (ESD): IEC61000 -4-2

    Generic Test Standard Test Level Performance ( Pass Criteria) 

    ESD-IEC 61000-4-2 4 kV contact discharges – Level 2

    8 kV air discharges – Level 3

    Criteria B ( Monitored before and after the test)”

    and later in the same section 

    Test Test Mode Observation
    8 Air-8kV PASS

    Resultantly, to answer your question:

    the IEC61000-4-2 was tested and passed at level 3.

    Best,

    Matt

  • Hi Matt,

    Thank you for your reply and sorry for late reply.

    I understand this design passed IEC61000-4-2 level3.

    I keep in mind about this.

    I appreciate your great help and cooperation.
