General-Purpose I/O (GPIO)

Aragio’s wide portfolio of general-purpose I/Os is targeted to meet the critical performance, power, area and reliability (ESD and latch-up tolerance) requirements for IC designs. These general-purpose I/O circuits include a full set of power pads, corner pad cells, breakers and spacers. These designs are implemented with special design considerations for power supply sequencing requirements. Distributed Power-on-Control (POC) is used during power up and power down of the systems.


 


 

GPIO: 1.2V-1.5V-1.8V

Summary
A full range of power pads is provided to enable the system designer different options for separate core power (VDD and VSS) and separate I/O padring power and ground (DVDD and DVSS). The ability to isolate separate power domains is also provided. In addition, the I/O library has a full complement of cells that provide the user with the ability to isolate analog I/O’s and power within the same padring as the digital I/O’s.

Includes:

  • Programmable GPIO
  • Programmable fault-tolerant GPIO
  • Input buffer
  • Power supplies
  • Isolated analog power supplies
  • Full complement of support pads
