Module 5: Creating Pin Pairs
A pin pair represents a pair of logically connected pins, often a driver-receiver
connection. Pin pairs may not be directly connected but they must exist on the same
net or XNet.
Pin pairs are used to capture specific pin-to-pin constraints for a net or an XNet. You
can also use pin pairs to capture generic pin-to-pin constraints for CSets. Generic pin
pairs are used to automatically define net- or XNet-specific pin pairs when CSet is
referenced.
1. In CM, navigate to Min/Max Propagation Delays and select the K-LINE XNet.
Do an RMB to select Create > Pin Pair.

2. In the Create Pin Pairs of K-LINE dialog, select J5.5 as the first pin and U30.4
(ln) as the second pin. Click Apply.
