What is PD IEC/TS 62916 - Bypass diode electrostatic discharge test about?

PD IEC/TS 62916 describes a discrete component bypass diode electrostatic discharge (ESD) immunity test and data analysis method. The test method described subjects a bypass diode to a progressive ESD stress test and the analysis method provides a means for analyzing and extrapolating the resulting failures using the two-parameter Weibull distribution function. PD IEC/TS 62916 does not purport to address the causes of electrostatic discharge or to establish pass or fail levels for bypass diode devices. It is the responsibility of the user to assess the ESD exposure level for their particular circumstances. PD IEC/TS 62916 does not apply to large ene...
