Description
Annex F of the actual ISO 10605, provides an additional approach for the ESD powered up test. This approach is intended to produce more repeatable test results and to better correlate with vehicle level ESD tests and the real world environment in comparison especially to the HCP test. This test is an optional test that can be selected by the users in additional to the present standard ESD powered up test as described in clause 5.3.
The HCP-auto allows for direct and indirect application of ESD discharges to the DUT as per the automotive test standard ISO 10605 for electrostatic immunity, also reference by manufacturer specs by Ford, GM, Toyota and more.
