Abstract
The authors present a technique of employing pin assignment to improve the physical design of printed circuit boards. The technique is based on all pins of ASICs, and reduces wire lengths and via count. Design time is reduced by automation and a top-down design procedure. An algorithm for the pin assignment problem is presented, and the combination of pin assignment with global routing is described
