 Hi All,
I have prepared a new one hour presentation on a newly discovered form of
ESDand an expose' of mistakes testing labs can make that will fail your
product when it should have passed. Here is the info:

     This Webinar describes a new form of ESD generated by power supplies in
response to a normal ESD event. The response generates some of the nastiest
ESD waveforms you will ever see. Over a period of a few microseconds, many
Human Metal Waveforms, Cable Discharge Waveforms, corona discharges, and ESD
events embedded in other ones, of both polarities can be generated from a
single ESD event applied to the product. It is like every possible ESD
waveform that can be, is generated from a single applied ESD event. The
results have been duplicated in three different laboratories with different
scopes, different ESD simulators, and different power supplies. And, this
effect often happens at a small fraction of the rated barrier breakdown
voltage of the power supply!

     To date, this newly discovered effect has been observed in small power
supplies operating off the AC mains with a two wire interface, but it is
possible others may have the same response. These kind of power supplies can
include small supplies directly plugged into the mains, brick type supplies
used with PCs, and equipment with a two wire mains interface like: stereo
amplifiers, set top cable and satellite boxes, a lot of consumer equipment,
and some industrial equipment. If you thought normal ESD is as bad stress as
there is, you must see this webinar!

     A simple lab setup to test your products will be described and can be
done on any lab test bench. An ESD test area is not needed.

     The Webinar will start off with a short expose' on how test
laboratoriescan inadvertently fail your product for ESD when it should have
been passed and what you can do to insure your product gets a fair and
accurate test. After that, this new form of ESD will be described and data
presented. 

If you have ever had an ESD problem, this webinar is for you!

There is more information at http://emcesd.com/#Webinars[1] . I am
deliveringthis web presentation next Thursday at 10:00 a.m. US Pacific Time.
I can schedule a presentation at other times for those outside of the US if
requested.
