For a IO to be able to withstand, hot plugging, the receiver will need an additional ESD clamp ckt for CDM protection which may or may not be present in a standard CMOS receiver.

Hi, All, Some vendor or foundry provides special PCI(33Mhz or 66Mhz) IO buffer in their IO buffer library during ASIC design,but some not. So I want to know what is the difference between common CMOS logic IO and special PCI IO, if we can use commom IO buffer replace special PCI buffer during ASIC design?if do so, what factor (such as Hot-plugging and so on) should be take into account? thanks!
