Pins

The following information about each pin is displayed on the processor picture: (in case of BGA type package the pins are displayed only in the Pins view mode)

• pin name (default or user-defined)
• icon of a component that uses (allocates) the pin
• direction of the pin (input, output, or input/output) symbolized by blue arrows if a component is connected
• With new pin model (supported for few derivatives only), the background color of the pin reflects routing of the pin to the peripheral.

Pin names are shortened and written either from left to right or from top to bottom and are visible only if there is enough space in the diagram.

Some signals and peripherals cannot be used by the user because they are allocated by special devices such as power signals, external, or data bus. The special devices are indicated by a special blue icons. The allocation of peripherals by special devices can be influenced by processor component settings.

In case of BGA package, the pins that are used by some component are colored yellow. Move the cursor on the pin to get detailed information.
