Pin Function Grouping

flux

Should I simplify the Pin Group values to these five general groups?
  • Power
  • Excitation / Oscillator
  • Sensor Input
  • Output
  • No Connect

Assign a Terminal Order from 1 to 10, starting with Power. Power should be Terminal Order 1, and Ground should be last, Terminal Order 10. For Orientation, set Power to "Top" and Ground to "Bottom." For the remaining sections/groups, you may decide the Terminal Order and Orientation yourself. For Orientation, distribute them between "Left" and "Right" — don't put everything on one side. Each group/section should have a different orientation

flux

The AD698AP has no dedicated GND pin; pin 1 is −VS, the negative supply rail. Should I treat −VS as the “Ground” group at Terminal Order 10, or keep it classified as negative power and omit a Ground group?

Treat −VS as the ground-equivalent group at Terminal Order 10.

flux

I’ll consolidate the pins into 10 general functional groups, assign orders 1–10, place +VS at the top and −VS at the bottom, and alternate the remaining groups across the left and right sides.

flux

Updated all 28 pins into 10 ordered functional groups:
  • Power: order 1, Top
  • Groups 2–9: distributed between Left and Right
  • Ground Equivalent (−VS): order 10, Bottom
All pin identities, positions, mappings, and connectivity were preserved.
