About PIN files

Note: PIN files are only valid with earlier Antifuse families such as eX, SX-A, and SX.  Although .PIN files are supported in Axcelerator, Actel recommends that you use PDC files instead to set pin locations for Axcelerator.

You can describe the location of a pin in a *.PIN file and import it into Designer. PIN files contain two commands: DEF and PIN.

Commands
