Electrostatic discharge withstand voltage evaluating device and electrostatic discharge withstand voltage evaluating method

An electrostatic discharge withstand voltage evaluating device for evaluating an electrostatic discharge withstand voltage of a measuring object device that includes a plurality of input terminals and a plurality of output terminals, the electrostatic discharge withstand voltage evaluating device comprising:

• application means, including a first connecting section and a second connecting section, for supplying pulse electric charge,
• the first connecting section being connectable to one or whole terminal(s) of one of the plurality of input terminals and the plurality of output terminals, and supplying electric charge to the measuring object device,
• the second connecting section being connectable to one or whole terminal(s) of the other one of the plurality of input terminals and the plurality of output terminals, and enabling said one or whole terminal(s) of the other one of the plurality of input terminals and the plurality of output terminals to be grounded;
• and
• a common connecting section being connectable to the plurality of the output terminals of the measuring object device, and causing the plurality of output terminals to be electrically connected to each other,
• the plurality of output terminals of the measuring object device being connected, via the common connecting section, to one of the first connecting section and the second connecting section,
• the other one of the first connecting section and the second connecting section being selectively connectable to one of the plurality of input terminals.
