An Optimization Algorithm for the Calculation of the Electrostatic Discharge Current Equations’ Parameters
Authors: , ,
Abstract: The international standard IEC 61000-4-2 for the electrostatic discharge does not provide an equation for the electrostatic discharge current, but it just defines a waveform for it. In the current paper a new optimization algorithm is presented that has been developed in order to calculate the parameters of equations proposed in the technical literature to describe the current during an electrostatic discharge. Electrostatic discharge current data obtained from real measurements are also used in this work in order to compare the results produced using the optimization algorithm in an effort to prove the efficiency and accuracy of the proposed algorithm and to identify the equation that describes better the electrostatic discharge current.
