Pin Grouping by Function

flux

Grouped the DRV8718S-Q1 pins by datasheet-backed function and verified all 57 terminals are assigned exactly once. I set Section = Pin Group for each pin, added orientations/order, pin types, and concise pin descriptions.
Open items:
  • None.
Suggested next steps:
  • Review the rendered parametric symbol layout visually.
  • If desired, I can split these into separate sub-symbols, e.g. Power/Ground, SPI/Control, Gate Drive 1–4, Gate Drive 5–8.

  • 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.
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.

I’ll generalize the pin groups, mirror each Pin Group into Section, and set group-level Terminal Order/Orientation with Power first and Ground last.

flux

Updated all pins to broader functional groups and verified Section matches Pin Group on every terminal.
Open items:
  • None.
Suggested next steps:
  • Review the symbol rendering after the grouping update.
  • Current group order is: Power=1, Interface=2, Control=3, Analog=4, Gate Drive=5, No Connect=9, Ground=10.
