Because it is difficult to meet our customers in-person, Sofics is using short video messages to introduce new solutions, to provide inspiration and to improve understanding about on-chip ESD protection.

2023 Sofics corporate introduction

Tutorial series

Short (typical less than 5 minutes) tutorials about different ESD related topics. Snackable content – learn something in few minutes.
