This part of IEC 61340 describes the discharge current waveforms used to define the MM and the basic equipment requirements used to develop these waveforms. Test parameters are defined for testing and classifying the electrostatic discharge (ESD) sensitivity of non-powered devices to the MM.
The purpose of this standard is to establish a test model that will replicate MM failures and will define the MM transient current discharge waveform and all necessary test parameters to ensure reliable, reproducible test results. Reproducible data will allow accurate comparisons of MM ESD sensitivity levels.
