Disclaimer: The following data is fictional and does not represent real-world performance of the Archimajor Rambo Board

Summary

v0.4 of the Alpha main board fails required spec: 4KV contact discharge at endstop inputs.

Failure Mode(s): 10/10 cases SAM3X processor enters reset condition. 2/10 cases, memory is corrupted.

Analysis

Atmel SAM3X (pg. 1378) specifies max VDDIO operating voltage of 4.0V. Contact ESD discharge with no alternate ground path exceeds this value with significant energy content.

Simulation Results

The following simulation shows the circuit response to 4K discharge with no ESD protection.
