Table
Package / mechanical data
| Item | Value |
|---|---|
| Body size | 2.00 mm x 2.00 mm |
| Height | 0.75 mm from PDF mirror |
| Tolerance | +-0.1 mm unless otherwise specified |
| Recommended pad layout | Present in datasheet |
| Reflow compatibility | Yes |
Cross-check result
| Check | Result | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Pin count | Pass | Project has 8 symbol pins and PCB pads |
| Pin naming | Pass | CO, CI, DO, DI, VDD_1, VDD_2, GND_1, GND_2 align with the 8-pin package concept |
| Pin numbering | Pass | Symbol numbering maps cleanly to the extracted function list |
| Functional directionality | Mostly pass | Clock/data input and output roles are represented correctly |
| Footprint pad count | Pass | PCB footprint exposes 8 pads matching the symbol |
| Footprint land pattern dimensions | Needs manual verification | Current PCB inspection exposed pad identities but not enough geometry detail to prove the land pattern matches the datasheet's recommended pad dimensions |
Issues / risks flagged
| Severity | Issue | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Medium | Datasheet source quality is inconsistent | The original URL partly blocked full extraction, and alternate mirrors have imperfect OCR. That increases the risk of small mechanical or ordering details being missed. |
| Medium | Package height conflict across sources: 0.75 mm vs 0.9 mm | This usually will not break PCB assembly, but it can matter for enclosure clearance and exact MPN matching. |
| High if unverified before release | Recommended pad geometry not fully confirmed against the project footprint | A wrong 2020 land pattern can cause tombstoning, poor solder fillets, skew, or assembly yield problems. |
| Medium | Project MPN is APA102-2020, while datasheet variant text is APA-102-2020-256-8A | Ordering ambiguity could lead to the wrong sub-variant if the manufacturer/distributor listing is not matched carefully. |
