MSP430™ System-Level ESD Troubleshooting Guide

System-level electrostatic discharge (ESD) immunity, as one part of electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), has become more and more important in our daily lives with most electrical products. The MSP430™ microcontroller (MCU) portfolio offers a wide variety of 16-bit MCUs with ultra-low-power and integrated analog and digital peripherals for sensing and measurement applications. This application report introduces the concepts of system-level ESD immunity tests, troubleshooting guidelines, and a failure analysis procedure when encountering system-level ESD problems with MSP430 devices.
