Part Metadata Review and Update

Thought for 2 mins 6 sec

I reviewed the current part project against the datasheet workflow: verify the existing datasheet URL first, then compare metadata, pin count, symbol pins, and footprint/pad mapping to the datasheet as the source of truth

Result

Datasheet URL already exists, so no web search or property update was needed.
Pin count matches: the project has 8 terminal components, and the datasheet’s SOP8 package also has 8 pins.
Symbol-to-footprint pad mapping appears consistent for all 8 pins.
I found a few metadata/property issues and missing pin-detail fields worth fixing.

Current project metadata vs datasheet Summary

Table

Field	In project	Datasheet / evidence	Status
Description	`NOR Flash`	Serial NOR flash, 128 Mbit / 16 MByte, standard/dual/quad SPI	Needs improvement
Manufacturer Name	`GigaDevice Semiconductor (HK) Limited`	GigaDevice	Acceptable
Manufacturer Part Number	`GD25WQ128ESIGR`	Datasheet identifies GD25WQ128ESIG as the listed SOP8 industrial option; `...R` parses like reel packing but is not explicitly listed in the valid ordering table	Possible mismatch / ambiguity
Part Type	`Integrated Circuits`	More specific: SPI NOR Flash	Too generic
Designator Prefix	`IC`	IC-type part, so this is fine	OK
Datasheet URL	Set	Official datasheet content was retrievable from the existing URL	OK
Package / Case Code	Not shown in project context	SOP8 208 mil, 8 leads, 1.27 mm pitch, body approx. 7.90 mm x 5.28 mm nominal	Missing / should be populated if absent

Key specs from the datasheet

Table

Spec	Value
Memory type	SPI NOR Flash / Uniform Sector Dual and Quad Serial Flash
Density	128 Mbit
Capacity	16 MByte
Organization	16M x 8
Interface	Standard SPI, Dual SPI, Quad SPI
Supply voltage	1.65 V to 3.6 V
Temperature range	-40 C to +85 C for the `I` grade
Max fast-read clock	104 MHz at 2.3 V to 3.6 V
Package	SOP8 208 mil
Lead count	8
Pitch	1.27 mm

Schematic symbol check

The project contains these 8 terminal components:

Datasheet pin table

Table

Pin	Datasheet name	Project terminal	Status
1	CS#	CS	Match
2	SO (IO1)	SO_(IO1)	Match
3	WP# (IO2)	WP	Match
4	VSS	VSS	Match
5	SI (IO0)	SI_(IO0)	Match
6	SCLK	SCLK	Match
7	HOLD#/RESET# (IO3)	HOLDRESET#(IO3)	Match
8	VCC	VCC	Match

Symbol findings

Pin numbers are correct for all 8 terminals.
Terminal names match the datasheet well, with only formatting differences like underscores and parentheses.
All current Pin Type properties are Unspecified on every terminal. That is incomplete for a part project and should be assigned from datasheet function mapping
I do not see Pin Description properties on the terminals, so those appear missing.
For a simple 8-pin IC, one symbol block is fine; no sub-symbol split is needed

Recommended pin property mapping

Table

Project terminal	Recommended Pin Type	Short Pin Description
CS	Input	Chip select input
SO_(IO1)	Bi-Directional	Serial data IO1
WP	Bi-Directional	Write protect IO2
VSS	Ground	Ground
SI_(IO0)	Bi-Directional	Serial data IO0
SCLK	Input	Serial clock input
HOLDRESET#(IO3)	Bi-Directional	Hold or reset IO3
VCC	Power In	Power supply

I’m calling the IO1/IO2/IO3 pins Bi-Directional because the datasheet labels them as data input/output lines in dual/quad modes, even though their legacy single-bit functions are output/input/control.

Footprint check

The layout contains a footprint asset named SOIC127P790X216-8N.kicad_mod with 8 pads mapped to the 8 terminal IDs.

Footprint comparison

Table

Check item	Datasheet	Footprint/layout	Status
Package family	SOP8 208 mil	SOIC-style 8-pin wide-body footprint	Likely compatible
Pin count	8	8 pads	Match
Pitch	1.27 mm	`127P` implies 1.27 mm pitch	Match
Body width	Nominal 7.90 mm overall width `E`, body `E1` nominal **5.28 mm`	`790` naming suggests 7.90 mm overall width	Match
Height	Max 2.16 mm	`216` naming suggests 2.16 mm	Match

Footprint findings

Although the datasheet calls it SOP8 208 mil and the footprint filename uses SOIC, the dimensions look consistent with the datasheet package.
Pad-to-terminal naming also matches:
- pad 1 -> CS
- pad 2 -> SO_(IO1)
- pad 3 -> WP
- pad 4 -> VSS
- pad 5 -> SI_(IO0)
- pad 6 -> SCLK
- pad 7 -> HOLDRESET#(IO3)
- pad 8 -> VCC

Mismatches and issues to flag Definite issues

Table

Item	Issue
Pin Types	All 8 terminals are currently `Unspecified`
Pin Descriptions	Missing for all terminals
Description	`NOR Flash` is too generic and omits key searchable specs
Part Type	`Integrated Circuits` is too broad; `SPI NOR Flash` would be more useful
Package property	If `Package or Case Code` is not already set, it should be populated as SOP8 208MIL

Possible issue

Table

Item	Issue
MPN	Project uses `GD25WQ128ESIGR`, while the datasheet’s valid ordering table explicitly lists `GD25WQ128ESIG` for SOP8/I-grade. The datasheet separately explains `R` as reel packing, so this may be a legitimate packaging suffix, but it is not shown explicitly in the valid part-number list I retrieved. I’d flag this for manual confirmation.

Suggested improved part summary

A better project description would be something like:

128 Mbit SPI NOR Flash memory, 16 MByte, 1.65 V to 3.6 V, standard/dual/quad SPI, SOP8 208 mil

Bottom line

Symbol pin count and numbering: good
Symbol names: good
Footprint package geometry: looks correct for the datasheet package
Footprint pad mapping: good
Metadata completeness: partially incomplete
Main issues: missing pin types, missing pin descriptions, overly generic description/part type, and a possible MPN suffix ambiguity

If you want, I can next update the part project properties and terminal properties to fill in the missing pin types/descriptions and tighten the metadata.

Fix metadata fields
