STLC5445

ESD - The STMicroelectronics Internal Quality Standards set a target of 2KV that each pin of the device should withstand in a series of tests

based on the Human Body Model (MIL-STD 883 Method 3015): with C = 100pF; R = 1500

and GND.

Device characterization showed that, in front of the STMicroelectronics Internaly Quality Standards, all pins of STLC5445 withstand at least

1500V.

The above points are not expected to represent a pratical limit for the correct device utilization nor for its reliability in the field. Nonetheless

they must be mentionned in connection with the applicability of the different SURE 8 requirements to STLC5445.
