Sofics provides ESD protection solutions that have been proven in over 4500 mass-produced IC designs. Their broad solution spectrum offers options for different power domains and interface types. Beyond standard performance, their technologies can boost competitive advantage with features like ultra-low parasitic capacitance for high-speed interfaces up to 112Gbps and high ESD robustness up to 8kV HBM. Sofics also supports next-generation FinFET designs with silicon-proven Analog I/O and ESD clamps for advanced process nodes including 16nm, 12nm, and 7nm.

1. Your Benefits
Proven technology gives you first time right designs
Sofics ESD technology has been included in 4500+ mass-produced IC designs,
corresponding to millions of wafers. The solutions have successfully been transferred to
advanced CMOS and FinFET technology nodes.
Broad solution spectrum gives you more options
Sofics has ESD solutions for the different power domains and for every type of interface. The clamps
are used in Analog I/O’s and can be used to protect digital I/O’s. The technology can be easily
customized to fit various requirements.
Beyond standard performance boosts your competitive advantage
Sofics creates ESD clamps with ultra-low parasitic capacitancefor highspeed interfaces like 112Gbps.
Clamps can be scaled to high ESD robustness like 8kV HBM. Sofics solutions add low stand-by leakage
and if needed can tolerate a higher voltage.
