We present a polynomial time improvement of the linear channel pin assignment LCPA algorithms presented by Cai and Wong in 1990. We solve the LCPA problem according to minimum channel density under a special priority schedule subject to vertical constraints and flux. The priority driven linear channel pin assignment algorithm (PDCPA) reduces the channel height by an average of 17% without increasing the running time.
