I am going to begin first ever IO layout...

Is there is any special point I should take care..??
Is it different that core analog layout.. any relevant document will be of great help...
 

io layout

it is a separate and very specific area of IC design. You have to solve beyond pure functionality design task an issues dealing with ESD and Latch-up protection. If it is a learning task, you have to concentrate on basics. Chances to implement robust I/O cell for first time I assume <30%.
Good books could help, e.g. Dabral/Maloney "Basic ESD and I/O Design", ... Also it is desirable to have a look at the layout samples from relatively free foundry's I/O libraries, say TSMC.
