This article explores the pulse response of 3 CDM test heads by measuring CDM current sensors using two 1-meter long coax cables. The risetime, bandwidth, and ringing characteristics of various CDM current sensors are compared to identify the most accurate and reliable measurements for CDM designers.

Pulse Response of 3 CDM Test Head • Three CDM current sensors Measured using two ea. 1 meter long coax cables • System 39 ps Risetime • BEI 43 ps Risetime, 18 GHz bandwidth • ESDA 33 ps Risetime, 16 GHz ringing June 8, 2012 Jon Barth
Time Domain Pulse Response 6 GHz Scope and two 1 Meter Coax Cables
3 CDM Test Head Discharge Waveforms • CDM discharge waveforms made on RCDM 3 tester • Discharge from Special BEI flat surface JEDEC coins of standard diameters • 6 GHz Tektronix scope • 37 degrees F Dew Point
500 Volt Small BEI Coin BEI ESDA JEDEC
Impulse Comparison of 3 CDM Current Sensors 1 GHz Bandwidth
Impulse Comparison 3 GHz bandwidth
Impulse Comparison 6 GHz bandwidth
ESDA-JEDEC CDM Current Sensors • Equal response at 1 GHz • Different at 3 GHz • Very different responses at 6 GHz • BEI 5A Current sensor • Wide bandwidth • Flat response • Accurate measurements for CDM designers
Requirements for a Repeatable Standard • Each current sensor to be measured individually • Evaluating current sensors in the CDM system includes many variables • The Barth Model 5A current sensor is measured individually
