Appendix: Glossary of Terms

Analog-to-Digital (ADC) Converter
a voltage converter that whose input signals are analog signals and whose output signal is converted to a digital signal.
Audits
Business processes review to verify conformance and compliance to ESD procedures and standards.
Bandgap Reference Circuit
A temperature-independent voltage reference circuit widely used in integrated circuits. It produces a fixed (constant) voltage irrespective of power supply variations, temperature changes, and the loading on the device.
Boost Converter
A DC-to-DC power converter with an output voltage greater than its input voltage. It is a class of switched-mode power supply (SMPS).
Buck Converter
A step-down DC-to-DC converter. Its design is a switched-mode power supply that uses two switches (a transistor and a diode), an inductor and a capacitor.
Buck/Boost Converter
A type of DC-to-DC converter that has an output voltage magnitude that is either greater than or less than the input voltage magnitude.
Cable Discharge Event (CDE)
An electrostatic discharge event from a cable source.
Cassette Model
A test method whose source is a capacitor network with a 10 pF capacitor. This is also known as the Small Charge Model (SCM) and the “Nintendo model.”
Charged Board Event (CBE)
A test method for evaluation of the charging of a packaged semiconductor chip mounted on a board, followed by a grounding process. The semiconductor chip is mounted on a board during ...
