Optimized IP for GF’s 22nm FDX technology

The 22nm FDX process from GlobalFoundries is a great technology for various applications including low-power IoT on the edge, high-bandwidth 5G mmWave devices and automotive products, Since its market introduction, the SOI process technology receives a lot of attention because it combines unique features in one platform.

Sofics supported a number of products on the 22FDX technology like low-leakage protection for IoT and Bluetooth applications.

ESD protection for 8.5 GHz LNA in 90nm

This article provides information about an SCR based ESD protection clamp for RF circuits validated in TSMC 90nm CMOS technology. The ESD protection clamp described has excellent figures of merit: Due to the low parasitic capacitance, low leakage and high Q-factor the influence on the RF performance is limited.
