SOFICS

🎉 Today, we proudly unveil the new Sofics logo. 🎉 More than a mere symbol, it reinforces our evolved identity and underscores our growing prominence. At the forefront of semiconductor design, Sofics specializes in creating Solutions for ICs. The design of our new logo underscores our commitment to excellence in interfaces, PHYs, and I/Os, embodying our dedication to delivering unique and valuable IP solutions. It symbolizes an IC, with a special emphasis on its periphery that highlights our role in safeguarding and enhancing the core of the IC with gold-standard solutions of unparalleled excellence. We elevate IC design by enhancing performance, ensuring superior reliability, and optimizing cost efficiency, thereby empowering designers and IC manufacturers. As we advance, our dedication to innovation and our commitment to customer satisfaction remain unwavering. Join us as we continue to break out of the boundaries of IC design. #Sofics #NewLogoReveal #SolutionsForICs #Innovation #SemiconductorExcellence

Ehsan Fallah is attending the GlobalFoundries GTS event in Munich today. He is eager to hear about the newest innovations from GF and of course also to discuss with our European customers about their next IC designs. Thanks Michael Verwagner for inviting SOFICS

Here I am at GTS2024 in Munich! Let’s connect and explore potential collaboration opportunities. Many thanks to GlobalFoundries for this amazing opportunity. SOFICS has already supported several customers across various GF technology nodes, but we are looking for more.

Our colleagues Mark Davitt and Bart Keppens will be at the #TSMC OIP (Open Innovation Platform) Ecosystem forum in Santa Clara, CA next week Wednesday (September 25). They are eager to show our progress on #overvoltage tolerant I/O circuits and unique on-chip #ESD protection designs for the most advanced process technologies. Meet Mark and Bart at the SOFICS booth #716. At 2:30 PM, Bart will talk about the amazing product from our customer ONiO in the 'automotive, IoT and RF' track. https://lnkd.in/eae9qENF Of course we are also attending TSMC OIP events in other regions in the next few months including Japan, China, Europe, ... stay tuned for announcements.

The EOS/ESD Symposium is taking place in #Reno this week. The conference is dedicated to Electrostatic Discharge and overstress issues for Integrated Circuits. 3 of our colleagues are attending the conference: Rani Baetens, Olivier Marichal and Wim Vanhouteghem. On Sunday morning, Wim presented a tutorial "Introduction to Characterization of On-Chip ESD Protection" - picture below. Olivier presented a tutorial too, already on Saturday, about "Introduction to On-Chip ESD Protection" providing background on design aspects. More info and detailed program: https://lnkd.in/eWhJ7SR8

Earlier this week our colleagues Joren Vaes, Diogo Pataco and Rani Baetens attended the 50th European Solid-State Electronics Research Conference (#ESSERC2024) conference in #Bruges. It was a great learning and networking experience. We will prepare submissions for the next edition! https://lnkd.in/e52mRida

Next week, September 18, GlobalFoundries is hosting their annual GTS event in #Munich. GF Technology Summit (GTS) 2024 is GF's worldwide, annual series of in-person, technology-focused events. This year's GTS will focus on how essential chips play a critical role in accelerating #AI, with keynotes, panel discussions and deep dive sessions. SOFICS has supported 10+ GF customers on different process nodes. We have proven IP on 130nm & 22nm SOI, 130nm & 65/55nm CMOS and 9HP BiCMOS. Our colleague Ehsan Fallah will attend the conference. Reach out to Ehsan on LinkedIn if you'd like to schedule a meeting with him during the conference. https://lnkd.in/e4evwytD

ONiO ❤️ SOFICS Big smiles over here, Sofics! 😁 Thanks for the love and for being awesome partners in our mission to ditch those pesky batteries and power the future! 🌍🔋 #BatteryFree #sustainability #iot #semiconductor #lowpowermcu

TSMC just announced the dates/locations of their OIP ecosystem events. As usual, Sofics will attend the TSMC OIP ecosystem forum in several regions. We will also present results from our recent projects on TSMC process nodes.

Part 4 of Our Interview from IP-SOC Santa Clara! In the fourth segment of the interview between Bart Keppens, our Chief Business Development Officer, and Gabriele Saucier, CEO of Design And Reuse, we explore SOFICS' long-standing collaboration with #CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research. CERN is at the forefront of groundbreaking particle physics experiments that push the boundaries of our understanding of the universe. These experiments demand highly sophisticated electronic systems that can withstand extreme conditions, including high radiation levels. For over a decade, Sofics has partnered with IC design teams at CERN, delivering custom IP blocks on several CMOS process nodes. Our solutions provide the unique I/Os and ESD protection needed to operate in such challenging environments. #Sofics #CERN #ParticlePhysics #Innovation #Semiconductors #TSMC #IP_SOC #HighRadiation
