6 P331-2 ESD Generator (IEC 61000-4-2)
The probe is used to generate standard ESD pulses according to IEC 61000-4-2 for ESD injection
into the device under test via conductors (Figure 2: P331-2 pulse form).
The P331-2 probe allows the user to couple ESD into IC pins via conductors according to the
standard IEC 61000-4-2 both directly and indirectly via coupling networks (standard). Coupling
networks are used for coupling into interface connections or special high-speed interfaces such as
USB, LVDS, Ethernet, etc. Inductive or capacitive couplers are suitable coupling networks
(Information: Langer EMV-Technik GmbH).
6.1 Design and Function of the P331-2 Probe
Figure 1: Description of the P331-2 probe
The pin contact is the P331-2 probe's high-voltage (HV) output that is used to inject the ESD pulse
into the test IC.
The test pulse is generated in the probe through a high-voltage switch and the coupling networks
that are required by the standard (Figure 2). The high voltage that is needed for the pulse
generation is generated in the BPS 203 and led to the HV port of the P331-2 probe via a high-
voltage cable. The BPS 203 controls the P331-2 probe. The signals are led to the control cable
port via a control cable. The pulse/contact LED indicates when an ESD pulse is triggered and the
device under test is contacted. The LED lights up green as soon as there is a galvanic connection
between the pin contact and the device under test. A red light signals the triggered pulses.
The Power LED signals the P331-2 probe’s power supply. The probe's GND contact area ensures
low impedance, all-over contact with the GND 25 ground plane. Magnets that are integrated in the
probe hold it on the ground plane.

the standard IEC 64000-4-2. Please refer to Table 6 for the respective waveform parameters.

Table 6: Waveform parameters
The respective short-circuit peak current can be calculated on the basis of the generator voltage
UVG when the probe is in operation.
IP = UVG ·K where: K = 3.7 A / kV
The equation reveals that the probe supplies 3.7 A per kV of the generator voltage.
Note: The pulse form is only guaranteed if the P331-2 probe is operated at a minimum voltage of
200 Volt.

7 Operational Notes
-The test set-up should always be operated via a filtered power supply.
-Attention! Functional near fields and interference emissions may occur when operating
EMC test set-ups. The user is responsible for taking measures to prevent any interference
to the correct function of products outside the EMC environment of the test set-up (in
particular through radiated interference).
This can be achieved by:
-observing an appropriate safety distance,
-use of shielded or shielding rooms.
-The disturbances that are injected into the ICs can destroy (latch-up) the device under test if their
intensity is too high. Protect the device under test by:
-increasing the disturbance gradually and stopping when a functional fault occurs,
-interrupting the power supply to the device under test in the event of a latch-up.
-Attention! Make sure that internal functional faults are visible from outside. The device
under test may be destroyed due to an increase in the injection intensity if the faults are
not visible outside. Take the following measures as necessary:
-monitoring of representative signals in the device under test,
-special test software,
-visible reaction of the device under test to inputs (reaction test of the device under test).
We cannot assume any liability for the destruction of devices under test!

8 System Set-Up
Figure 4: System set-up with P331-2 probe and the ICE1 set
The components marked with an asterisk (*) are not included in the scope of delivery.
Figure 4 shows the set-up of the IC test system with the ICE1 set
2
(Fehler! Verweisquelle konnte
nicht gefunden werden.) and the P331-2 set. The BPS 203 burst power station generates a high
voltage and supplies this to the P331-2's HV input via the HV FI-FI 1 m cable. In addition, the BPS
203 also controls the P331-2 via the FBK 12P 1m control cable. The PC in turn controls the
BPS 203 via the USB-AB cable. The BPS 203-Client software is installed on the PC.
The ESD current pulse is generated from the high voltage in the P331-2 probe (Figure 3). The
current pulse (Figure 2) flows into the test IC when contact to the pin is made.
The test IC is mounted on a special test board
3
. The test board is inserted into the GND 25
ground plane and connected to the CB 0708 connection board.
The ground plane and the connection board are integral parts of the ICE1 set. The evaluation of
signals from the test IC may require external devices such as an oscilloscope or special test
hardware (Figure 5).

9 Verifying the Waveform
The SM 02-01 shunt can be used to verify the waveform of the current pulse. The shunt has a
bandwidth of 3 GHz and can be loaded with a maximum pulse current of 180 A in the single-pulse
mode of the BPS 203.
The shunt is inserted into the GNDA 02 ground adapter (Figure 6). The SMA output is connected
to the 50R input of an oscilloscope with a corresponding bandwidth. The oscilloscope's attenuator
is set to 26 dB (x20). 1 V at the display corresponds to a current of 1 A in the probe. When using
an oscilloscope with a bandwidth > 3 GHz, please note that this is limited to 3 GHz.
The waveform has to be verified prior to every major measuring job. Provided the waveform does
not deviate from the given parameters, the P331-2 probe only has to be calibrated every two years
by Langer EMV-Technik GmbH.
