The verification of the ESD simulator includes characterizing the discharge pulse waveform. The second edition of ISO 10605 identifies rise time, first peak current, current at t1 and current at t2 as ...

HDMI receivers and transmitters will include some on-chip ESD protection for a controlled manufacturing environment, but a typical real-world ESD zap can deliver a peak current of over 30 Amps, and ...

The intention is to provide ESD protection based on the system’s needs, rather than one specific component. Figure 2 shows how the position of the ESD device has changed. Figure 2.

If an ESD pulse occurs, the diode will shunt the resulting current to ground protecting the circuitry. External protection diodes are available to ensure that no damage occurs.
