This document, while establishing the complex nature of System Level ESD, proposes that an efficient ESD design can only be achieved when the interaction of the various components under ESD conditions are analyzed at the system level. This objective requires an appropriate characterization of the components and a methodology to assess the entire system using simulation data. This is applicable to system failures of different categories (such as hard, soft, and electromagnetic interference (EMI)). This type of systematic approach is long overdue and represents an advanced design approach which replaces the misconception, as discussed in detail in JEP161, that a system will be sufficiently robust if all components exceed a certain ESD level.

Over the last several decades the so called "machine model" (aka MM) and its application to the required ESD component qualification has been grossly misunderstood. The scope of this JEDEC document is to present evidence to discontinue use of this particular model stress test without incurring any reduction in the IC component's ESD reliability for manufacturing. In this regard, the document's purpose is to provide the necessary technical arguments for strongly recommending no further use of this model for IC qualification. The published document should be used as a reference to propagate this message throughout the industry.

This standard establishes the procedure for testing, evaluating, and classifying components and microcircuits according to their susceptibility (sensitivity) to damage or degradation by exposure to a defined human body model (HBM) electrostatic discharge (ESD). The purpose (objective) of this standard is to establish a test method that will replicate HBM failures and provide reliable, repeatable HBM ESD test results from tester to tester, regardless of component type. Repeatable data will allow accurate classifications and comparisons of HBM ESD sensitivity levels. NOTE Data previously generated with testers meeting all waveform criteria of ANSI/ESD STM5.1-2007 or JESD22A-114F shall be considered valid test data.
