Does anyone know if the no connect pins can be used as a way to reduce ground bounce?

19 years agoI've done some testing in SSN and found that simply having a no connect or tri-stated pin to separate aggressors from a victim pin, will reduce ground bounce the same amount as having programmable grounds. Proximity of aggressors to victims is the biggest contribute to SSN for FPGAs, so separating the sea of aggressors in a bus is a good design practice.
