Sarnoff Europe provides ESD DESIGN SOLUTIONS for standard and HV CMOS, BiCMOS and BCD processes. We license ESD protections that are product proven from 0.5um to 65nm technology. We integrate ESD design in your IO, your custom interface, your power grid… to your specifications.

For clients with multiple IC per process per year plans, we offer an attractive ESD design tool set, including GDSII and a calculation tool.

Sarnoff Europe’s ESD solutions are marketed under the TakeCharge® portfolio brand. We offer state-of-the-art ESD design expertise to meet the design challenges of today’s complex and/or demanding IC design requirements. Our extensive portfolio covers specialty solutions for SerDes, HDMI, RF and HV applications. Geared for the future of our customers, 45nm ESD solutions are already nearing completion, and will be released by mid-2008.

Using Sarnoff scalable solutions, customers can reach any ESD specification (e.g. the new 8kV HBM standard for HDMI) without compromising full IC functionality at high communication speeds. MM and CDM specifications are also covered by the TakeCharge ESD solution set.

Sarnoff Europe has created a full set of design flow, integration and calculation tools combined in its TakeCharge Design Kit. We empower our customers with solutions, tools and knowledge to independently implement ESD design as part of their overall IC design. TakeCharge provides both IO and full chip ESD protection strategies for all types of IC’s – including those with multi-power domains – combined with dedicated training for customer design and layout engineers.

The Sarnoff engineering team is ready to support all customer requests and to provide design review services prior to product tape-out. After all, from an industry leader, you are entitled to a superior service above and beyond your expectations.
