Abstract
An electrostatic discharge simulator employing the combination of a chargeable member connected in parallel with a parallel plate capacitor network. The chargeable member is maintained charged by a high voltage supply through a charging resistance. The capacitor network includes a bank of resistors and capacitors for providing a voltage step simultaneously with an ESD event and is detected by an event detector. The event detector turns off the high voltage supply. To charge the capacitances for the next event, the event detector is reset using a reset switch built into the device probe.
