The charged-device model (CDM) is a model for characterizing the susceptibility of an electronic device to damage from
electrostatic discharge (ESD). The model is an alternative to the
human-body model
The human-body model (HBM) is the most commonly used model for characterizing the susceptibility of an electronic device to damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD). The model is a simulation of the discharge which might occur when a human touch ...
(HBM).
Devices that are classified according to CDM are exposed to a charge at a standardized voltage level, and then tested for survival. If it withstands this voltage level, it is tested at the next level and so on, until the device fails.
CDM is standardized as ANSI/ESDA/JEDEC joint standard JS-002.
