Overview

The 3.3V General Purpose I/O (5VT) library provides programmable bidirectional I/O’s that are both 5V tolerant and fault tolerant.
The I/O’s are provided in a standard width variant and in a wider variant that includes an ESD event triggered SCR for those clients that require 200V Machine Model ESD protection.

Key features

  • Fault tolerant operation – no current flow @ DVDD = 0V
  • 5V tolerant @ 3.3V operation
  • Multi-Voltage (1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V)
  • Programmable drive strength (rated 2mA to 12mA)
  • Selectable output slew rate
  • Optimized for EMC with SSO factor of 8
  • Open-drain output mode
  • Programmable input options (pull-up/pull-down/repeater)
  • Power-On Start (POS) capable
  • Power sequencing independent design with Power-On Control
  • In full-drive mode, this driver can operate to frequencies in excess of 100MHz with 15pF external load and 125 MHz with 10pF load. Actual frequency limits are load and system dependent. A maximum

Provider

Aragio Solutions
HQ: USA
Aragio is a limited liability corporation (LLC) with headquarters in Plano, Texas. The Company is a full-service provider of semiconductor intellectual property (IP) for integrated circuit (IC) design. Aragio focuses on design solutions for input/output (I/O) system interface cells used for package interconnect. Full I/O library solutions, with robust electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection, are provided for complex integrated circuit padring designs. Aragio serves a very niche market for I/O libraries within the semiconductor industry. The company provides uniform I/O pad sets for a wide range of applications, semiconductor foundries and technologies. It is significant that all IP is owned by Aragio Solutions and nearly all IP developed since the company was formed in 2003 is still in demand and will continue to be in demand for the next decade. As a recognized world leader, Aragio provides its services to numerous clients across Southeast Asia, China, Japan, Europe, and North America.

A Generic Solution to GPIO verification

This paper provides a complete solution to the GPIO Verification for any SoC. GPIO interface is available in every ASIC. To avoid duplicate efforts and (save) time to verify the GPIO interface, we have produced this Generic GPIO verification suite. It is a UVM-based verification environment, with all the necessary subcomponents that are required to verify any GPIO design.

Ensuring reliability in Advanced IC design

To complete our task as engineers we rely on the tools we use. We collaborated with Siemens EDA solutions back in 2025 on a webinar about how we use their tools to develop our designs and layouts.

Integrating Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) on Arty-Z7

Post-quantum cryptography (PQC) is moving from theory to engineering reality. With NIST-standardized algorithms ML-KEM (FIPS 203) and ML-DSA (FIPS 204) now finalized, FPGA developers face a practical challenge: How to integrate these algorithms efficiently on resource-constrained hardware?

From I2C to I3C: Evolution of Two-Wire Communication in Embedded Systems

The I2C (Inter-Integrated Circuit) Bus invented in 1980 by Philips Semiconductors (NXP Semiconductors today) was a massive step forward in simplifying communications in embedded systems. It is a simple two-wire interface for synchronous, multi-master/multi-slave, single ended serial communication. Fast forward 45 years to today and it is still widely used for attaching low speed peripheral Integrated Circuits (ICs), processors and microcontrollers. But silicon today has changed...
