Overview
Synopsys’ General-Purpose I/O (GPIO) Library IP provides designers with the input/output operation, functionality, and reliability required for their SoCs targeting mobile, automotive, and high-performance computing (HPC) applications. The IP is silicon-proven and available in several foundries and process technologies from 3nm to 22nm.
Synopsys GPIO library is designed to support multiple voltages; it offers a complete set of support cells (supply, corner spacers, diode breakers, terminators) required to create complete I/O pad rings for system-on-chips (SoCs). The library is compatible with flip-chip packaging. The GPIO driver pad incorporates the Schmitt-Trigger function, programmable drive strength, and pull-up/down resistors, with robust HBM and CDM ESD protection. Synopsys’ broad GPIO IP offering helps achieve your SoC design’s critical power, performance, and area (PPA) requirements, delivering low-risk solutions in a fast time-to-market.

This article describes five areas where designers can take advantage of this new process with the latest logic library technology to optimize the performance, power and area of their system on chips (SoCs).
Physical designers moving to lower foundry nodes worry about how to verify and deliver a design that is free of DRC violations while meeting their tape-out schedule. This can be quite challenging given that the number and complexity of DRC rules is increasing and designs are getting bigger. The need for a better understanding of the manufacturing issues during the design phase raises concerns about how to best address these issues.
This paper, aimed at decision makers within product development companies with responsibility for specifying device connectivity, provides an up-to-date report on the status of Certified Wireless USB technology. It explores the favorable economic factors
Standard cells libraries are usually designed to operate at a specific value of supply voltage referred to as “nominal voltage”. This article details the performance trade-offs in terms of power consumption and speed when decreasing power supply voltage, as well as a methodology to determine the lowest value to use.
If someone had predicted fifteen years ago that 28nm would still be the foundation for many new chip designs, the idea might have seemed unlikely. Process technology was advancing rapidly, and the industry’s attention was firmly fixed on shrinking geometries. Each new node promised more transistors, greater integration, and higher performance.
