We frequently get questions about the applicability of our ESD and I/O solution IP for space applications. Semiconductor devices that are used at high elevation or in space need special attention during the design phase. Sofics technology has been used for a number of aerospace projects. In this article we provide more background and some example cases.

6 concepts to replace dual diode ESD protection
When the conventional dual diode based ESD protection is causing problems ESD designers can use one of these 6 concepts.
Local ESD protection in analog IOs
The most common ESD protection for I/Os consist of two diodes. To cover all the different stress combinations a rail clamp is required. In this article we discuss another option. For many interfaces a local ESD protection clamp is actually a better option.
