Part Datasheet Review

flux

I’m blocked from grouping the pins directly because this workspace currently has no available ACUs, so I can’t inspect or modify the component.
What remains to do once ACUs are available:
  • Open the official LM3916N-1/NOPB datasheet.
  • Map each of the 18 pins to exactly one functional group.
  • Use broad groups and avoid duplicating any pin across groups, per your note.
  • Update the symbol pin grouping/sections accordingly.
A likely grouping for LM3916-style 18-pin DIP parts is:
  • Power: V+
  • Ground: V− / GND
  • Signal / Reference Inputs: SIG, RHI, RLO, REF OUT, REF ADJ
  • Mode Control: MODE
  • LED Outputs: LED1 through LED10
This should be verified against the exact LM3916N-1/NOPB datasheet before editing the project.

  • 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’m blocked from applying these pin grouping and symbol-property changes because this workspace currently has no available ACUs, so I can’t modify the component right now.
Planned grouping scheme once ACUs are available:
  • Power — Terminal Order 1, Orientation Top
  • Reference — Terminal Order 2, Orientation Left
  • Signal — Terminal Order 3, Orientation Right
  • Control — Terminal Order 4, Orientation Left
  • Outputs — Terminal Order 5, Orientation Right
  • Ground — Terminal Order 10, Orientation Bottom
For every pin, I’ll set:
  • Pin Group = its single broad functional group
  • Section = same exact value as Pin Group
  • No physical pin duplicated across multiple groups
Ready to apply this once ACUs are available.
