This International Standard defines a method for pulse testing to evaluate the voltage current
response of the component under test and to consider protection design parameters for
electro-static discharge (ESD) human body model (HBM). This technique is known as
transmission line pulse (TLP) testing.
This document establishes a methodology for both testing and reporting information
associated with transmission line pulse (TLP) testing. The scope and focus of this document
pertains to TLP testing techniques of semiconductor components.
This document should not become alternative method of HBM test standard such as
IEC 60749-26. The purpose of the document is to establish guidelines of TLP methods that
allow the extraction of HBM ESD parameters on semiconductor devices. This document
provides the standard measurement and procedure for the correct extraction of HBM ESD
parameters by using TLP.
