2. Ionization Technology
Core Insight’s CoreStat® Auto-Balanced Ionization System is exact
same technology of SIMCO-ION (previously as known Ion Systems)
which is their exclusive patents has been expired since 2009 and it
has open for everybody. CoreStat® is a steady-state DC ionization
technology with isolated high voltage section of power supply and
maintain intrinsically balanced its offset voltage performance in
specification ranges. All of Model 300 series and Model 3000 series
ionizers are CoreStat® steady-state DC technology which aren’t need
adjust ion output for balance performance. It just needs periodic
cleaning emitter points for maintain decay performance.
Core Insight also offer traditional AC ionization technology for
industrial applications such as roll to roll, winding & unwinding of
films for static related contamination issues.
Core Insight’s AirStat® Bipolar Pulsed AC ionizers which is lower
frequency than conventional AC and output parameters are
adjustable for each application such as FPD’s manufacturing
environment and others.
High Frequency AC is alternative solution for replacement of
conventional AC for ESD control application and very small package
ionization products. This technology applied lower high voltage level

than conventional AC ionizers, but much faster switching time from
16kHz to 70kHz. This can achieve low offset voltage from ionizers
and can be use ESD control application areas.
Pulsed DC ionization technology is the strength of Core Insight’s
ionization products for cleanroom particle contamination controls.
There are many forms and configuration in this type of products
which improves particle contamination issues in many places such as
semiconductor front-end, back-end, flat panel display fab and many
other industrial applications.
Core Insight offer several types of Charge Plate Monitor (CPM) or
Test Kits for ionizer performance testing of qualification and
compliance verification. Monroe Electronics’ Model 288 is the latest
version of CPM and highly accurate measurement equipment based
on the original voltage following technology. Model 300 is cost
effective ionizer measurement CPM equipment. Both two CPMs can
remotely control and make measurement by software for detail
analysis and test result reporting. This two equipment is perfectly
compliance to ANSI/ESD STM3.1 standard requirement test.
Also, there are hand-held fieldmeter based test kit which is smaller
plater, external charging source and integrated decay timer for
compliance verification measurement per ANSI/ESD SP3.3 test
requirement.

3. Application Guide
A. Basic ESD Control
It is mandatory requirements such as personal grounding,
ESD safe worksurfaces and use ESD safe packaging
material for all electronics industry. These are well known
and easy to establish in ESD protected area (EPA) compare
with following issues.
B. Ionization for CDM/CBE Controls
Every device has their own ESD sensitivities and they can
damage by beyond this sensitivity limits. According to
many IC manufacturing suppliers, over 99% of device ESD
failures are CDM or CDM like and not HBM or very low
possibility. Due to automation and device sensitivity
continue to be lowering, vulnerability of device CDM are
increasing. Not only CDM, but also Charge Board Event
like ESD issues are increasing due to their complexity and
large amount of charge stored on printed circuit board.
There are two strategical guidance has proposed by ESD
Association. Lowering device charge level and increase
resistance of contact materials are the key strategical
elements to prevent ESD damage. As per ANSI/ESD
S20.20-2014 latest version described, maximum allowing

field strength is 125V/inch for 200V CDM withstand
threshold devices. To achieve this, using proper ionization
is important solution to meet these requirements and less
CDM/CBE ESD failures in production or field return from
customer side.
Core Insight provides the best solution for static related
issues with several types of ionization products and
systems such as steady-state DC, AC, pulsed AC, high
frequency AC and pulsed DC ionizations.
For more detail information about ionization and ESD
controls in production, please feel free to contact our sales
representative at [e-mail] or local contacts.

4. Cautions and Personal Safety
A. Cautions
The use of improper input voltage may result in poor
performance or damage of the unit.
The transformer should not be operated beyond the
specified electrical limits as described in the Specification
section of this document.
Damage caused to the transformer from operation in an
environment that exceeds the specified limits will void the
warranty.
Do not use this ionizer in an explosive environment. Poorly
maintained ionizers could produce minuscule electric arcs
at the emitter points. This may cause detonation in an
explosive environment.
Damage to the product because of improper wiring
connections at RJ-45 terminal or failure to heed maximum
voltage limits will not be covered by the warranty.
There are no user serviceable parts inside this ionizer. Any
unauthorized service will void the warranty and may result

in additional repair charge.
Before performing any maintenance on emitter points,
shut down the power on the ionizer. Allow a minute for
high voltage power supply to discharge.
B. Personal Safety
Do not wear wrist straps when access this ionizer units for
maintenance reason as regular ESD control method and
remove power connection from AC line source. Be sure
that no wrist strap requires when service access to high
voltage operational system.
