ESDA and Pragma

EOS/ESD Association Services, LLC is focused on providing services as an extension of its parent organization, EOS/ESD Association, Inc. EOS/ESD Association Services, LLC executes parts of the Association mission to provide education and training to control and prevent static discharge. EOS/ESD Association, Inc. volunteers, who are experts in their fields and participants of EOS/ESD Association, Inc. standard committees, provide their time and efforts to EOS/ESD Association Services, LLC.

For twenty years, Pragma has supported ESDA system-level and testing standards groups, contributed to working groups and the Industry Council on ESD, including presenting papers and teaching training sessions at the ESDA Symposia.

Barth and Pragma

"Barth Electronics, Inc. is a high technology company specializing in designing and manufacturing “state of the art” sub-nanosecond high energy, pulse power instrumentation since 1964. Originating in Ohio then moving to Boulder City, Nevada in 1976 during the days of weapons testing at the Nevada Test Site, we designed and manufactured very special test hardware for EG&G in Las Vegas as well as the National Laboratories.

In 1997, Barth test equipment engineers developed the first commercial Transmission Line Pulser (TLP) for the Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) industry, using unique technology developed for high speed, high voltage test equipment. As the operating transistors inside IC’s have become smaller and more sensitive to ESD, each pin on every IC is now protected to provide the reliability demanded in the digital world."
