The physical arrangement of these blocks dictates the physical pin layout. It's kind of like building a microchip with logical "lego" bricks. You choose the bricks, arrange them on the die, then connect the pins to make a microcontroller. | |

| Apr 10, 2020 at 15:44 | comment | added | Ron Beyer | @NguyễnPhúc The physical arrangement of the pins on the processor deals more with the arrangement of the actual silicon die and the functions that the wire-bonded "block" that it attaches to has. | |

RB5/AN13/T1G on the [PIC16F882](RB5/AN13/T1G). Probably more like a primary function/secondary function kind of thing. | |
