What’s Key for Pin-Locking
Must retain pinouts as the design evolves
- best done when the design software initially assigns pins
- different from pinout pre-assigning
- strong function of utilization in typical CPLD architectures
- result of both architecture and software strategy
Pin-locking is valuable
- eliminates or reduces PC Board rework
- minimizes time to market, saves money
- lowers designer frustration, risk
