Electrical Overstress (EOS) and Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) account for most of the field failures observed in the electronics industry. Although EOS and ESD damage can at times look quite similar to each other, the source each and the solution can be quite different. Therefore, it is important to be able to distinguish between the two …
