Why Is JEDEC’s Maximum Requirement Of 30 KV?

JEDEC requires a maximum of 30 KV because this is a common electrostatic discharge (ESD) voltage limit.

ESD is an electrostatic discharge that occurs between two objects and can damage electronic equipment or cause data loss. Therefore, in order to ensure the reliability and stability of the equipment, JEDEC established an electrostatic discharge standard of 30 KV. This standard is based on actual testing and experience to ensure that the equipment is not affected by unacceptable electrostatic discharge during normal operation and use.

JE has developed several standards for electrostatic discharge (ESD) of electronic chips, mainly including the following standard numbers:

1. JEDEC JESD22-A114: This standard specifies the testing of integrated circuits (ICs) and components against Human Body Model (HBM) ESD methods and requirements.

2. JEDEC JESD22-A115: This standard specifies the test methods and requirements for ICs and components for Diffusion Model (CDM) ESD.

3. JEDEC JESD22-C101: This standard specifies the test methods and requirements for ICs and components for system-level model (MM) ESD.

These standards define the conditions, equipment and test procedures for ESD testing to ensure that chips can operate safely under ESD events. Each standard specifies different test methods and test parameters for different ESD voltage models.
