WHAT IS ESD?
By name it stands for "Electrostatic Discharge". As the name suggests it is the result of a charged object discharging the built-up charge that causes what is referred to ESD damage.
ESD Damage is best illustrated by a car door when we step out our car and go to lock the door - ZAP! The shock you get is due the charge we have built up as we rub against the seat. The metal door handle acts as a conductor for our charge and WHOOSH it discharges through the door handle.
An ESD event does not necessarily mean immediate failure of the device (Catastrophic failure), and the problem may not be noticed until your product reaches the end user (Latent defect). Your product's operating life may be greatly shortened.
Equally as worrying is the fact that latent damage is almost impossible to detect with the technology available today
