Electrostatic discharge risks in electronics used in automotive application

Abstract

The automotive industry pays special attention to knowledge-based specification, design, manufacturing and qualification of components and other integrated circuits (ICs). As a result, there is the demand for ICs to be fit-for-application rather than any consideration of fit-for-standard. Thus when the ESD specs are stated, the rationale for the requirements needs to be understood. Therefore, we first need to consider if the ESD requirements for the automotive environment are any different from other consumer product environment requirements. Additionally, automotive product markets often demand “Zero PPM (Parts Per Million)” for overall IC product reliability that includes ESD.
