“Input/Output (IO) pad” or "IO pin" refers to a terminal or other structure of an electronic circuit within a semiconductor or integrated circuit (IC) or packaging for a semiconductor or IC configured to enable the electronic circuit to be coupled, or connected, to another electronic circuit external to the semiconductor or IC or packaging. An IO pad may have a variety of physical forms including a conductor in a ball shape, a planar landing pad for a corresponding ball conductor, or the like. In certain embodiments, an IO pad may make an electrical connection using physical contact between the IO pad and another electrical terminal or lead. An IO pad may be configured to receive electronic communication signals, send electronic communication signals, or both send and receive electronic communication signals.
