Part 1: General requirements

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 62779-1 has been prepared by IEC technical
committee 47:Semiconductor devices.
The text of this standard is based on the following documents:
FDIS Report on voting
47/2267/FDIS 47/2277/RVD

Full information on the voting for the approval of this standard can be found in the report on
voting indicated in the above table.
This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.

The committee has decided that the contents of this publication will remain unchanged until
the stability date indicated on the IEC web site under "http://webstore.iec.ch" in the data
related to the specific publication. At this date, the publication will be
• reconfirmed,
• withdrawn,
• replaced by a revised edition, or
• amended.

INTRODUCTION
The IEC 62779 series is composed of three parts as follow:
• IEC 62779-1 defines general requirements of a semiconductor interface for human body
communication. It includes general and functional specifications of the interface.
• IEC 62779-2 defines a measurement method on electrical performances of an electrode
that constructs a semiconductor interface for human body communication.
1
• IEC 62779-3 defines functional type of a semiconductor interface for human body
communication, and operational conditions of the interface.
IEC 60748-4 gives requirements on interface integrated circuits for semiconductor devices.
Especially, Chapter III, Section 7 in this standard is applied to interface circuits for a
communication network using a general channel, such as wire or wireless. However, a
channel for HBC is the human body whose channel properties, such as signal loss and delay
profile, are different from the general channel, so Chapter III, Section 7 can’t be applied to an
interface for HBC. Furthermore, a standard on a communication protocol for body area
network (BAN) − IEEE 802.15.6, which includes a communication protocol for HBC was
published in 2012. A common interface for HBC should be defined to secure communication
compatibility between various devices that are implemented on/inside the human body or
embedded in peripheral equipments.
