on-chip ESD protection, custom/specialty I/O and PHY circuits
Today, you can find CMOS image sensors almost everywhere in consumer, automotive, health and security applications. There has been a lot of innovation to enable demanding requirements.
The article provides a summary about the 3 main aspects that IC designers need to consider when selecting the ESD protection clamps for their image sensor projects.
More and more companies are turning to advanced semiconductor packaging. This trend has an effect on ESD protection. Earlier in 2021, Sofics submited a paper for the IP-SOC USA conference about ESD protection for 2.5D and 3D packaging. The abstract, the presentation and video are available here.
