#89470 - Cranky pin outs
Responding to: ???'s previous message
What makes these manufacturers have these inconvinient of pinouts?


If you rule out sadism , I can think of a few reasons...

- Relative position of the differnt gates on the die so that connected ones are next to each other

- Minimize the distance in the signal flow path to arrive at the minimum propogation delay

- Wire bonding considerations for packaging.

- A not so efficient design package that was procured in a discount sale !

Well all of the above are guesses. So not to take them seriously..
