Table 1: typical ESD levels for ESD robust MLCC’s
With respect to the ESD test conditions as described in this specification, the typical ESD levels in
table 1
are
applicable.
After each ESD pulse the MLCC is discharged through a 1 MΩ resistor. The interval between two subsequent
ESD pulses is set to 5 seconds. The number of the subsequent ESD pulses is defined in
table 3.
For more
details see chapter
ESD strength
on page 10.
DC – Bias
The special design of ESD robust MLCC series ensures reduced DC bias dependence with respect to standard
X7R MLCC’s.
The thus available larger residual capacitance under DC-Bias enables ESD robustness, furthermore higher
stability of filter characteristics.
