when you talk about mass production, how many tape outs are expecting before sending the chips to your sponsors? how can we be sure the chips have a proper ESD strategy or are not weak to typical electrical over stresses?

We have now a first prototype, fully tested, so, with this campaign we expect to improve our first version but both chips will be available. We use ESD protections structures provided by the foundry.
