JESD22-A114F is the JEDEC standard for human body model electrostatic discharge sensitivity testing of semiconductor devices, and it belongs to the JESD22 family of test methods that the semiconductor industry uses to qualify a device for reliability and for handling. Its role in practice is strongly influenced by the automotive sector, because the reliability qualification requirements imposed on a supplier to a vehicle manufacturer reference the JESD22 methods directly, and a device intended for automotive use is expected to carry a human body model classification obtained to this standard in addition to its reliability data. The document specifies the equivalent circuit representing a charged person, the resulting discharge current waveform and its tolerances, the pin combinations to which the discharges are applied, and the number and polarity of the discharges at each voltage step. The classification assigned from the result determines the handling, packaging and assembly precautions the device requires.
