Looking for "ECMF2-40A100N6 exact MPN, manufacturer, package, pin count, description, key electrical specs, and complete pin table including pin names/functions." in ecmf2-40a100n6.pdf

Looking for "What package/case code, footprint dimensions, and mechanical package information are given for ECMF2-40A100N6? Include land pattern related dimensions if present." in ecmf2-40a100n6.pdf

Looking for "For ECMF2-40A100N6, extract the functional description and main electrical characteristics: number of lines, common mode attenuation or filtering role, leakage current, capacitance, DCR, current rating, ESD capability if stated, and operating temperature range." in ecmf2-40a100n6.pdf

I reviewed the part project for ECMF2-40A100N6 against the currently set ST datasheet URL.
Summary
  • Datasheet URL: already present, so no update was needed.
  • Pin count: matches the datasheet at 6 pins.
  • Symbol terminal names/numbers: match the datasheet pinout.
  • Footprint: a 6-pad footprint exists, which is directionally consistent with the datasheet package.
  • Main issues found:
    • Project Part Type looks incorrect/misleading.
    • All schematic terminals have Pin Type = Unspecified.
    • Terminal pin descriptions are missing.
    • I could not fully verify the exact land pattern geometry from the datasheet text extraction available here, so footprint verification is only partial.

Symbol review
What matches:
  • 6 terminals present, matching the datasheet pin count.
  • Pin numbering appears consistent with the datasheet.
  • Terminal naming is sensible and matches functional intent.
What needs improvement:
  • Every terminal is currently set to Pin Type: Unspecified. For a datasheet-driven part audit, pin metadata should be explicit and exact. The recommended workflow is to use the datasheet as the single source of truth, match pin count exactly, and flag any missing pin metadata rather than guessing
  • Suggested pin types:
    • Pins 1, 2, 5, 6: Passive
    • Pins 3, 4: Ground
  • Pin Description properties are missing and should be added with short functional labels, per the part-sync guidance
Footprint review
What I could verify:
  • The layout contains a Footprint with 6 pads, which is consistent with a μQFN-6L package.
  • So the footprint is structurally plausible.
What I could not fully verify:
  • I do not have enough extracted mechanical-package detail here to confirm:
    • exact body size
    • pad pitch
    • pad dimensions
    • recommended land pattern
    • courtyard/silkscreen accuracy
So the footprint result is:
  • Pad count: OK
  • Exact package geometry: not fully verified

Mismatches / flags

SeverityIssueWhy it matters
HighPart Type = InductorsDatasheet describes an ESD-protected common mode filter, not just an inductor
MediumAll pins are UnspecifiedReduces symbol quality and downstream ERC usefulness
MediumPin descriptions missingMakes the part less clear and less reusable
LowDescription is incompleteIt omits the ESD-protection role and package
LowFootprint geometry not fully verifiedNeed package drawing / land pattern to fully confirm
Recommended cleaned-up description
A better project description would be:
  • Common mode filter with ESD protection for one high-speed differential lane, μQFN-6L, 100 mA max, 3.0 Ω typ, -55 °C to +125 °C
Overall verdict
  • Core identity: correct
  • Pin count and pin naming: correct
  • Footprint pad count: correct
  • Metadata quality: needs cleanup
  • Exact footprint mechanical compliance: still needs a package-drawing check
If you want, I can next fix the project metadata and terminal properties:
  • change Part Type
  • add proper Pin Type values
  • add Pin Description values
  • optionally improve the project description
That follows the standard part-project datasheet-sync workflow for pin/property completion
Fix metadata and pins
