Overview

Sofics Specialty I/O and ESD protection IP is licensable mixed-signal I/O IP. The official site describes silicon-proven specialty I/Os and ESD circuits on standard processes, with published datasheet examples for TSMC/Samsung advanced-node GPIO and I2C/I3C interfaces.

The page surfaces datasheet examples such as Samsung Foundry 4 nm 1.8 V GPIO/I3C and TSMC 4 nm/6 nm/12 nm GPIO (including I2C & I3C variants). Public vendor materials describe offerings for higher ESD robustness, lower parasitic capacitance for high-speed interfaces, fail-safe/hot-swap cases, and advanced FinFET/nanosheet nodes. HQ address is listed as Sint-Godelievestraat 32, 9880 Aalter, Belgium. Confirm the exact revision, role, and deliverables on the current provider page before integration.
