About Novorell
A semiconductor design services company that does one thing deeply: making integrated circuits robust against electrostatic discharge.
Who we are
Novorell Technologies is a private company operating from Dallas (US) and Europe. We provide services and solutions for implementing electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection in today’s integrated circuits and electronic systems.
Our team of international experts brings more than 50 man-years of industry and academic experience in IC ESD reliability. We cover ESD design, layout, circuit optimization, chip verification, IC qualification and troubleshooting for the Human Body Model (HBM), Charged Device Model (CDM) and system-level (IEC) stress regimes.
Our tagline is ‘Mastering reliability’, and our approach is simulation first: valid ESD models and tools, so ESD design rests on engineering and not on black magic.
Vesselin Vassilev, founder and CEO
Ph.D. in electrical engineering (IMEC) and M.Sc. in applied physics. More than 27 years of industry experience in on-chip ESD protection, ESD IP and circuit design, and ESD product qualification.
