JEDEC JESD625-A

This standard establishes the minimum requirements for Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) control methods and materials used to protect electronic devices that are susceptible to damage or degradation from electrostatic discharge (ESD). The passage of a static charge through an electrostatic-discharge-sensitive (ESDS) device can result in catastrophic failure or performance degradation of the part. Device sensitivity to ESD is determined by test methods such as EIA/JESD22-A114. ESDS devices with human body model sensitivities of less than +200 volts may need additional protective measures beyond those specified in this standard. Formerly known as EIA-625, that superseded JEP108-B (November 1994). Became JESD625-A after revision, December 1999.
