Part Metadata Audit and Update


I’ll update the BQ25750RRVR terminals in place: set each pin’s electrical type, switch the symbol to parametric style, and assign datasheet-based sections/groups for cleaner symbol organization.
Done. I set datasheet-based pin types, sections, terminal order, and short pin descriptions for all 37 BQ25750RRVR terminals, and converted the symbol terminals to parametric-v1.
I also corrected the two naming issues from the audit: FSW__SYNC → FSW_SYNC, and pin 37 GND → THERMAL_PAD with Ground pin type and “Exposed thermal pad” description.
Can you make the sections shorter or use fewer sections?
I’ll consolidate the custom section names into a smaller set of standard, shorter sections while preserving the pin types and descriptions.
Done. I reduced the BQ25750RRVR symbol from many long functional sections down to 8 shorter groups:
  • Interface
  • Control
  • Analog
  • Sense
  • Battery
  • Gate Drive
  • Adapter
  • Power
Pin types, terminal order, pin numbers, and descriptions were preserved.

36FSW_SYNCFSW__SYNCNaming mismatchProject uses double underscore; datasheet uses single underscore. Recommend renaming to FSW_SYNC for clarity.
37Thermal PadGNDDescription mismatchPad count is correct, but symbol names pad 37 as GND. Datasheet calls this Thermal Pad and instructs soldering to board with vias/star connection to PGND/ground plane. Recommend renaming/describing terminal as EP or THERMAL_PAD and setting pin description accordingly.
Mismatches / Issues Flagged
  1. Pin 36 naming: project terminal FSW__SYNC should be FSW_SYNC to match the datasheet.
  2. Pin 37 naming/description: project terminal GND maps to datasheet Thermal Pad. Electrical connection to ground/PGND is expected, but the pin name and description should identify it as exposed thermal pad rather than ordinary GND.
  3. Pin type metadata: all schematic terminals currently have Pin Type: Unspecified. Datasheet defines I, IO, O, and P classifications. For symbol quality and ERC behavior, pin types should be updated to match Table 6-1.
  4. Footprint count is correct at 37 pads, but this audit did not verify exact pad geometry from the KiCad footprint against every datasheet land-pattern dimension; the footprint name suggests QFN50P500X600X100-37N-D, which is consistent with 0.5 mm pitch, 5 x 6 mm, 1.0 mm height, 37-pad package naming.
  • Rename terminal FSW__SYNC to FSW_SYNC.
  • Rename terminal GND or add description for pin 37 as THERMAL_PAD / EP, while documenting that it must be soldered and connected to PGND/ground plane.
  • Update terminal pin types from Unspecified to datasheet-based types:
    • Inputs: SCL, TS, ICHG, ILIM_HIZ, FBG, FB, SRN, SRP, BATSRC, SYS, ACN, ACP, ACUV, ACOV, FSW_SYNC.
    • Bidirectional / IO: SDA, CE.
    • Outputs: INT, STAT1, STAT2, PG, BATDRV, HIDRV2, LODRV2, LODRV1, HIDRV1, ACDRV.
    • Power: SW2, BTST2, PGND pins, DRV_SUP, REGN, BTST1, SW1, VAC.
    • Thermal/mechanical/electrical exposed pad: Thermal Pad / EP, solder to board and connect to PGND/ground plane.
  • Consider adding pin descriptions to each terminal using the exact datasheet function summaries for improved symbol documentation.
