+TheeMisterPatrick Most ICs are equipped with approx. 2KV ESD protection on every pin these days, exactly because ESD is a common everyday occurrence. But some pins of some ICs are not going to be protected quite so rigorously, so it's prudent to check specific data sheets.
@@SianaGearz If you are talking about 75% of digital only IC's, then yes. Most analog, ADC\DAC IC's , Fet's, Darlington's, BJT's, some Zener's, 4000 series IC's are not, esp. anything from the mid 2000's and before...even op-amps. I just killed a circa 1993 op-amp last week by touching the PCB and applying a 1vp-p signal on the non-inverting input.
I can't quite understand what Steve says at the end. What, specifically does "holding the microprocessor off" mean? Does it literally mean powering it down, and therefore somehow making more vulnerable to ESD?
Why is this funny? ESD is s serious matter. I used to work with CCD's (charge coupled devices) used in bar code scanners. An engineer would walk down the hallway carpet and turn into my cubicle carrying a new CCD for me to test. I was grounded. 20% of the time, as he handed the part to me, a spark would jump from it my hand, killing the device. Yes, it didn't work after that. ESD can damage all sorts of devices, even if the spark is not visible.
This is one of the best ESD videos I've seen. It's almost all good information.
I really liked the technical explanation. Thank you.
Thank you for posting the video.
I have one of those Fluke multimeters(behind his right shoulder) on my desk. Works great!
Thank you for sharing, very helpful
Wow... thanks for this fantastic video. BTW... the boss at 20:51... ahah, "what's the technician supposed to do??"
lol, how many decades ago was this made...what bullshit am I constantly reading on all kinds of forums right now..

You re right. Instead of making new nosense tutorial video they should simply share this video.

12:30 in 1987, still give themselves an out for giving customers a "functional" but faulty product. nothing's changed.
Is the technician Steve Wozniak?
+TechWalker yes :)
Nice to Woz again.
Does anyone know where I can purchase this video?

Time slicing access to the CPU.
@@frontierhubby4014 I thought it was to the memory...
This video is funny as hell
Thank you for uploading it. The presenter is seriously gold. They shouldve used him more to explain other serious matters
this video is ASMR
Relationship counseling.

+PanamaSticks It's funny because of the way the guy presents it. The subject is very serious. Thanks for watching!
You're an asswipe!
You're a asswipe! Oh, and you're no "epoxy expert" either. You stick your fingers together every time you use glue.
No, nothing funny about it. It was presented as a serious subject.
It's not funny. The presentation is funny. ESD is very serious, man.
david cram?? hes dead now no doubt. and what is up with all the carpet??
the funny part is that don`t have any black, asian, muslin, hispanic, hindu...
That's the best part
You must laugh awfully easy..... I don't see anything funny about this video.
Cool, I take ESD very seriously. That's why I always work on carpet with cloth gloves.
