Welcome! This guide outlines the standard procedure for the Machine Model (MM) Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) test. The core purpose of this test is to provide a standardized way to check how susceptible electronic microcircuits are to damage or degradation from a specific type of static electricity event. By following these steps, engineers can get reliable and repeatable results, allowing them to accurately classify a device’s sensitivity.

Let’s begin with the first phase of any good experiment: preparing your equipment and workspace.
