Table
| Check | Result | Risk |
|---|---|---|
| Symbol pin count vs datasheet | 40 vs 40 | Low |
| Footprint pad count vs datasheet | 40 vs 40 | Low |
| Pin numbering continuity | Appears consistent from 1 to 40 | Low |
| Major pin naming | Appears aligned with datasheet naming | Low |
Table
| Finding | Why it matters | Severity |
|---|---|---|
Footprint asset name is DW3220TR13-1.kicad_mod while the part MPN is DW3210TR13 | Even if the package is likely shared within the family, this creates a real risk of part-library confusion, wrong future substitutions, or incorrect trust in the footprint provenance | Medium |
Project description says 40-WFQFN Exposed Pad, but the footprint I inspected has only 40 perimeter pads and no obvious exposed center pad | If the actual DW3210 package truly requires an exposed pad, this would be a manufacturing and thermal/reliability issue. The datasheet excerpts I could access identify the device as QFN40 5 mm x 5 mm, but I did not get a machine-readable package drawing confirming a center pad one way or the other | High - needs manual verification against the package drawing |
All symbol terminals are typed Unspecified | Not a fabrication failure by itself, but it weakens ERC usefulness and can hide integration mistakes in downstream designs | Low |
| No structured package property visible in part metadata | Increases ambiguity during reuse and review | Low |
| Existing datasheet URL is not ideal for direct automated extraction | Makes future automated review less reliable | Low |
Table
| Area | Verdict |
|---|---|
| Basic symbol-to-datasheet pin mapping | Looks broadly correct |
| Basic footprint pad count / package family alignment | Looks broadly correct |
| Most important risk | Potential mismatch around exposed-pad status |
| Second important risk | Footprint file name references DW3220, not DW3210 |
Table
| Priority | Action |
|---|---|
| 1 | Verify the package drawing page for the DW3210 QFN40 and confirm whether there is an exposed center pad |
| 2 | If no exposed pad exists, update the part description to remove Exposed Pad |
| 3 | Rename or replace the footprint asset so its identity matches DW3210TR13 cleanly |
| 4 | Add proper pin electrical types for better rule checking |
| 5 | Replace the current datasheet property with a direct PDF URL if you want future automated scans to be more reliable |
