+// Function    : An embedded I/O with
+//               - An I/O isolation signal to set 
+//                 the I/O in input mode. This is to avoid
+//                 any unexpected output signals to damage
+//                 circuits outside the FPGA due to configurable
+//                 memories are not properly initialized
+//                 This feature may not be needed if the configurable
+//                 memory cell has a built-in set/reset functionality
+//               - Internal protection circuitry to ensure
+//                 clean signals at all the SOC I/O ports
+//                 This is to avoid 
+//                   - output any random signal
+//                     when the I/O is in input mode, also avoid
+//                   - driven by any random signal
+//                     when the I/O is output mode
+//
+// Note: This cell is built with Standard Cells from HD library
+//       It is already technology mapped and can be directly used
+//       for physical design
