Overview

Synopsys IO Library IP provides designers with the input/output operations, functionality and reliability required for their systems targeting mobile, automotive, high-performance computing (HPC) and GPU applications. The IP is silicon-proven and is available in multiple foundries and process technologies from 3nm to 22nm. Synopsys' IO portfolio includes robust general-purpose IOs (GPIOs), and specialty IOs (3DIO, LVDS, SD/eMMC, I2C, I3C, Crystal Oscillator and xSPI), helping designers achieve power, performance, and area (PPA) targets for their SoCs with low risk and fast time-to-market.

Synopsys IO Library IP offering includes support for multiple IO bus protocols. Synopsys IO enables the industry��s most comprehensive supply voltage range and has robust ESD for improved manufacturability (configurable CDM specs). Synopsys IO operates at very high operating frequencies with the broadest set of features, supporting flexible system design. These features include independent power sequencing, fail-safe/fail-tolerance features, programmable current drive with enhanced granularity, slew control, retention, and bus-keeper support.

Synopsys IO Libraries are self-sufficient and include all the required functional cells �C GPIO, supply cells, core clamps, power management cells, and supporting cells (supply, corner spacers, diode breakers, oscillators, terminators). The multi-row ring implementations & unified IO framing help in overall area optimizations. Synopsys IO supports multiple metal stack options and end-user customizations on request.

What Our Customers Are Saying

Synopsys was instrumental in helping us meet our stringent ESD targets with their general-purpose IO and LVDS libraries. They took the initiative to sign off the IO libraries with an increased CDM level of 500V by working closely with us to assess our design requirements."

Avi Bauer, Vice President of Hardware Engineering

Arbe

Benchmarked against a leading competitor, the Synopsys Logic Libraries offered considerably better area and an 8% improvement in timing, which is significant for high-speed designs like ours."

Namit Varma, Senior Director, India Technology Center

Achronix

The combination of Synopsys�� Security and Foundation IP enabled us to implement the highest level of security while achieving the best combination of power, performance, and area for our SoC"

Sky Shen, CEO

Starblaze Technology

Integrating market-proven Synopsys USB 3.0, DDR, MIPI, and Foundation IP was the right choice for us because first-silicon success was the only option."
