Program
ESD Certified Professional-Program Manager
 
Course Length
Half-day course
 
Description
This tutorial focuses on the basic calculations and techniques of use to the Program Manager and the ESD engineer. The content is at the introductory College pre-calculus and introductory college physics level set in the context of electrostatic discharge and its effects. Topics covered include the electric force, the electric field and Coulombs law, electric potential and voltage. Gauss’ Law is discussed as it relates to the electric field, induction and the Faraday cup. The capacitance in Q = CV is used to explain charge sharing. RC decay is discussed as it relates to ESD discharge from humans, devices, wrist straps and materials. After completing this course, the attendee should leave with a proper understanding of the differences among the calculations for peak current, power, energy and threshold voltage for a simple device.
