AreaStatusNotes
Footprint package familyGoodThe footprint is a 4 mm x 4 mm 24-lead package with exposed pad, consistent with the datasheet.
Exposed paddleGoodPad 25 is present and the datasheet says the exposed paddle is ground.
Total terminal countGoodProject has 25 terminals, which matches 24 leads + exposed paddle.
Control/VDD terminal names presentGoodCONTROL1, CONTROL2, CONTROL3, and VDD exist.
Mismatches found
The main issue is symbol pin numbering does not match the datasheet pinout, which means symbol-to-footprint mapping is currently wrong even though the footprint geometry itself looks plausible.

Conclusion
  • The official datasheet URL is available.
  • The footprint package style appears correct.
  • The symbol terminal numbering is substantially incorrect versus the datasheet.
  • Because of that, the current part would connect several RF, control, and supply pins to the wrong footprint pads.
I can update the part’s Datasheet property to the official Mini-Circuits URL next.
