Kilopass (www.kilopass.com)

Kilopass is the pioneer of NVM antifuse technology in a standard CMOS process with no additional processing steps. Its 2T bit cell architecture is compatible with standard CMOS logic, has the same reliability as the foundry’s process, scales easily with the process technology, and reduces overall SoC product cost. 

The Kilopass Products Supported are:

XPM OTP NVM IP - An embedded non-volatile memory solution that provides higher security, larger capacity with a smaller footprint than efuse and it is also field programmable.

Gusto High Density Memory IP - A high density (up to 4Mb) embedded non-volatile memory solution that is a lower cost alternative to ROM, embedded Flash and serial EEPROM or Flash.

SOFICS formerly Sarnoff Europe (www.sofics.com)

SOFICS is a silicon Intellectual Property (IP) provider to the semiconductor industry. They are the worldwide leader in IP for on-chip ESD (Electro Static Discharge) protection and IC yield enhancement.

The SOFICS Products Supported are:

TakeCharge - An ESD protection solution that has been proven in silicon from 180nm all the way down to 40nm technology. TakeCharge can detect ESD problems in the GDSII of a chip before it is sent out for manufacturing.

PowerQubic - A new High Voltage ESD Solution that has been validated in silicon and available today in the following technologies: TSMC 0.35um 15V, TSMC 0.25um 40V. This solutions can also be ported to other technology nodes.
