Introduction

Electronic chips Takes information from the outside world (Input devices) Information Processing (CORE) Sends the processed information to outside world (Output Devices)

CORE Consist of Large scale information processing modules

I/O Special input-output devices Should have good performance with long term reliability Provides low cost and high performance systems

High performance and Reliable I/O or High Voltage devices are required for System On Chip (SoC) development
