Handling Precautions
Although ESD protection circuitry has been designed into the the VCS3, proper precautions should be
taken when handling and mounting. VI employs a Human Body Model and a Charged-Device Model
(CDM) for ESD susceptibility testing and design protection evaluation. ESD thresholds are dependent on
the circuit parameters used to define the model. Although no industry wide standard has been adopted
for the CDM, a standard HBM of resistance = 1.5kohms and capacitance = 100pF is widely used and
therefore can be used for comparison purposes.

Model Minimum Conditions
Human Body Model 1000 MIL-STD-883 Method 3115
Charged Device Model 1500 JESD 22-C101
Suggested IR profile
Devices are built using lead free epoxy and can also be subjected to standard lead free IR reflow
conditions, Table 7 shows max temperatures and lower temperatures can also be used e.g. peak
temperature of 220C.
