Component Pin to Multiple Pad Mapping | Altium Designer 21 What’s New

Altium Designer 21 introduces flexible pin to pad mapping capabilities for managed components. In this free Altium Designer training video, explore the enhancements to the Single Component Editor and get to know the new Pins panel.

The Pins panel allows component symbol pins to be mapped to any component footprint pad, or any number of footprint pads.

Opened from the editor’s button, the Pins panel allows the default one-to-one pin-pad mapping to be changed to a custom relationship, such as one pin being connected to multiple footprint pads – or any other non-aligned pin to pad number relationship. When mapping a pin to multiple pads, the mapping entries are entered using a comma-delimited numeric format (1,2,3,4 etc). Pin-to-pad cross-probe highlighting is supported for multiple common footprint pads, and a custom footprint mapping configuration is indicated by its associated icon.
