Effective ESD Strategies in nano-CMOS IC design
 
By Katty Van Mele,
Sarnoff Europe
The hunger for shorter design cycles and rapid product innovation needs to be fed by a.o. silicon and product proven re-usable IP. To address such important business need, Sarnoff Europe introduced so-called TakeCharge Design Kits, offering proven solutions with design and integration tools for on-chip ESD protection, which is another non-core but necessary technology for nano-CMOS ICs. The response from foundry and fabless companies worldwide reflects the importance of integrated ESD design in the overall IC design process. more >>
