What are the uses of an NC pin? 1. Device groundingThe NC pin can be connected to ground to improve thermal capacity or heat dissipation (if the option is applicable for the device as stated in the datasheet). 2. Component testingAn NC pin, by default, should be left unconnected or floating because most of the…

Using IEEE Symbols
Read moreWhat is IEEE? IEEE (pronounced as I, triple E) stands for Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. This is an association that develops design-based, functional standards to follow in the electronics design industry. At SnapEDA, we create symbols based on IEEE 315-1975 standard (as well as ANSI, CSA and IEC approved symbols) and our own internal…

Schematic Symbols for Integrated Circuits
Read morePin naming, pin setting, and pin arrangement are the 3 most important factors to consider when creating the schematic symbol for an IC device. Considering these aspects will help you create a direct and functional design. At SnapEDA, we developed our own internal standards based on these 3 factors. PIN NAMING To avoid incorrect pin…
