Cross-check: symbol and footprint vs datasheet


CheckResultRisk
Pin count180 in symbol and 180 in footprintLow
Ball naming/gridSymbol terminals and footprint pads use datasheet-style ball IDsLow
Package familyFootprint is clearly an 18 x 18, 0.8 mm pitch, 15 mm BGALow
Package property textProject property says TO instead of ALP / FCCSP / FCBGA-180High for ordering/library metadata errors
Land sizeFootprint pads appear to be 0.5 mm diameter, while datasheet example board layout shows 0.4 mmHigh potential assembly / yield issue
Pin electrical types in symbolMany symbol terminals are set to Unspecified instead of datasheet I/O typesMedium for ERC quality, lower for fabrication
Datasheet-to-footprint height/bodyFootprint naming 1500X1500X96 matches 15 mm x 15 mm x 0.96 mm closelyLow

Flagged mismatches


IssueWhy it mattersSeverity
Package or Case Code = TOThis does not match the actual package and could cause incorrect part ordering, bad library metadata, or confusion during reuseCritical
Footprint pad diameter appears 0.5 mm vs datasheet example 0.4 mm landThis can affect solder joint geometry, paste definition, escape routing assumptions, and assembly yieldCritical
Symbol pin types are unspecifiedCan weaken ERC and hide interface-direction mistakesModerate

Bottom line


AreaVerdict
Datasheet availabilityGood
Basic symbol pin countGood
Ball-map alignmentGood
Footprint package size / pitchGood
Metadata correctnessNeeds correction
Land pattern confidenceNeeds review before manufacturing
The two items I would treat as blockers before releasing this part are:
  • Correct the package metadata from TO to the proper ALP / FCCSP / FCBGA-180 package naming.
  • Reconcile the footprint land diameter with the datasheet example board layout: current footprint shows 0.5 mm pads, datasheet example shows 0.4 mm.
If you want, I can next produce a pin-by-pin audit table for the symbol against the datasheet ball map.
