Data sheet 1.2V Full local Analog I/O
TSMC 65nm
Sofics has verified its TakeCharge ESD protection clamps on technology
nodes between 0.25um CMOS down to 5nm across various fabs and
foundries. The ESD clamps are silicon and product proven in more than 4500
mass produced IC-products. The cells provide competitive advantage
through improved yield, reduced silicon footprint and enable advanced
multimedia and wireless interfaces like HDMI, USB 3.0, SATA, WIFI, GPS and
Bluetooth.
The Analog I/O clamp described in this document can be used for 1.2V pads
in the TSMC 65nm CMOS technology.

Maximum ratings
Rating Symbol Value Unit
Min Max
Supply Voltage Range (DC) VDD -0.3 1.32 V
Input/Output Voltage Range (DC) VIO -0.3 1.32 V
Operating Temperature Top -25 125 °C
Burn-in Voltage (DC @ 125°C) 1.8 V
Stresses exceeding these maximum ratings may damage the device. Functional operation above the recommended operating
conditions is not implied. Extended exposure to stresses above the recommended operating conditions may affect device
reliability.
The provided golden cell is designed for these maximum ratings/specifications. If the desired specification level differs, the
golden cell has to be scaled up or down by using the Sofics implementation/scaling guidelines to remain a robust and effective
ESD protection for the different specifications.
