15 years agoN.C. pins, Not Connect pins
Can the N.C. pins be connected to GND or Vcc? I need to do this to make EPM3256 footprint compatible with EPM3512.

If you look one place it will tell you one thing. If you look somewhere else, it will tell you something else. The pin file tells you "exactly" one thing, several PDFs tell you "exactly" something else. Which one do you believe? Flip a coin? Eeny meeny? Should you just decide what you want the answer to be and look around till you find the explanation that fits? It is a support staffs dream come true. If anyone ever has a problem connecting it up wrong, just find an example of the contradictory "explanation", then blame it on the user and blow them off. Then the enablers will come along and tell you that there never was really any problem at all. "Just read this one document and ignore all the others." Not really the best way to get things fixed.
