Organ.

Ident.

Step 1-3: part review and datasheet scan
The part already has a datasheet URL set, so step 2 was not needed. I used the existing datasheet source and a mirrored copy to extract what was available.

Cross-check result


CheckResultNotes
Pin countPassProject has 8 symbol pins and PCB pads
Pin namingPassCO, CI, DO, DI, VDD_1, VDD_2, GND_1, GND_2 align with the 8-pin package concept
Pin numberingPassSymbol numbering maps cleanly to the extracted function list
Functional directionalityMostly passClock/data input and output roles are represented correctly
Footprint pad countPassPCB footprint exposes 8 pads matching the symbol
Footprint land pattern dimensionsNeeds manual verificationCurrent 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


SeverityIssueWhy it matters
MediumDatasheet source quality is inconsistentThe original URL partly blocked full extraction, and alternate mirrors have imperfect OCR. That increases the risk of small mechanical or ordering details being missed.
MediumPackage height conflict across sources: 0.75 mm vs 0.9 mmThis usually will not break PCB assembly, but it can matter for enclosure clearance and exact MPN matching.
High if unverified before releaseRecommended pad geometry not fully confirmed against the project footprintA wrong 2020 land pattern can cause tombstoning, poor solder fillets, skew, or assembly yield problems.
MediumProject MPN is APA102-2020, while datasheet variant text is APA-102-2020-256-8AOrdering ambiguity could lead to the wrong sub-variant if the manufacturer/distributor listing is not matched carefully.
Bottom line
  • I found no confirmed symbol pinout mismatch in the current part project.
  • I found no confirmed pin-count mismatch between symbol and footprint.
  • The main remaining risk is footprint land pattern verification and exact ordering-code ambiguity.
If you want, I can next produce a pin-by-pin validation checklist for the footprint against the datasheet mechanical drawing.
