Pin Function Grouping


I’ll check the RTL8152B-VB-CG pinout/datasheet, inspect the current symbol pins, then update the pin groups so each physical pin appears in exactly one functional group.
I found the 25 terminal pins and will assign each to one primary function group: power, ground, Ethernet MDI, USB, LED/SPI/GPIO control, clock/reference, or exposed pad.
Done — I grouped all 25 RTL8152B-VB-CG pins by primary function and verified each physical pin number is assigned only once.
Updated groups include Power rails, Ground/EP, Ethernet MDI pairs, USB differential pair, LED/SPI/GPIO/control, Clock/Crystal, and Reference/Bias. I also normalized pin types/sections where possible for cleaner symbol metadata.
  • Make the functional group more general.
  • Add a Section property to all pins, and apply the same value used in the Pin Group property to each pin's Section property.
I’ll simplify the RTL8152B pin groups to broader functional categories, then mirror each pin’s Pin Group value into its Section property.
Done — I generalized the functional groups and set every pin’s Section property to match its Pin Group exactly.
The groups are now: Power, Ground, Ethernet, USB, GPIO, Control, SPI, Clock, Reference. Verified all 25 pins have matching Pin Group/Section values and no pin was duplicated across groups.
