Summary
The TSMC 2nm 1.8V GPIO offers configurable I/O functionality with multi-voltage support, over-voltage tolerance (OVT), and high-speed or ultra-low-power modes. Designed for advanced nodes, it enables reliable interfacing between low-voltage cores and higher-voltage or legacy systems.
An integrated voltage regulator can be added to ensure stable operation across wide voltage ranges for auxiliary supply domains, supporting multi-voltage and OVT functionality without external components.
