+This directory contains standard format files for "power_pads_lib",
+which is an efabless addendum to the SkyWater I/O library "s8iom0".
+
+power_pads_lib does the following:
+
+(1) Changes the orientation of the corner pad from upper-right to
+ lower-left with a wrapper cell called "s8iom0_corner_pad". Also
+ extends the power buses to make the dimensions of the corner pad
+ multiples of 1um.
+
+(2) Adds a 1um-wide spacer cell to complement the existing 5um-wide
+ spacer cell.
+
+(3) Adds wrappers for all the combinations of power pad base cell +
+ power pad overlay, to create all 12 combinations, for pads with
+ either high- or low-voltage clamps, connecting to one of the six
+ power domains vddio, vdda, vccd, vssio, vssa, or vssd.
