ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for applying high current fast rise time pulses simulating electrostatic discharge (ESD) to various combinations of pins of a device under test (e.g., a microcircuit). The apparatus also provides for testing of the DUT after the performance of ESD stress testing. The apparatus establishes electrical connections between the terminals of a high voltage pulse generator (HVPG) and several different combinations of the DUT pins in sequence in order to apply ESD stresses. The apparatus further provides functional parameter tests whether the connection to the DUT pins during ESD stressing has caused the DUT to fail.
