Part Information Review and Datasheet Update

flux

Reviewed the RFFC5072 part project and updated the part metadata:
  • Set Datasheet URL to Qorvo’s official document link: https://www.qorvo.com/products/d/da000735
  • Added metadata:
    • Manufacturer: Qorvo
    • MPN: RFFC5072
Key datasheet specs:
  • Function: Wideband synthesizer/VCO with integrated 6 GHz RF mixer
  • Package: 32-pin QFN, 5 mm × 5 mm, exposed paddle
  • Supply: 2.7 V to 3.3 V, abs max 3.6 V
  • LO range: 85 MHz to 4200 MHz
  • Mixer range: 30 MHz to 6000 MHz
  • Reference input: 10 MHz to 104 MHz
  • Typical IIP3: up to +23 dBm
  • Exposed paddle: ground, low-impedance PCB ground connection required
Cross-check results:
  • Pin count matches: 32 pins + exposed paddle = 33 pads.
  • Footprint broadly matches QFN-32 5 mm × 5 mm with exposed paddle.
  • Symbol pin numbering matches the datasheet pin table.
  • Main mismatches/cleanup items:
    • Pins 23/24/27/28 are named MIX_IPP, MIX_IPN, MIX_OPN, MIX_OPP; datasheet names them MIX2_IPP, MIX2_IPN, MIX2_OPN, MIX2_OPP.
    • TM pin 12 is marked Power Out, but datasheet says connect to ground.
    • EPAD is marked Power Out, but datasheet requires ground.
    • Several digital/control pins are marked Unspecified; they should be refined per datasheet directionality.
    • Pin descriptions are sparse; adding datasheet-derived descriptions would improve library quality.

fix the several digital/control pin that are marked unspecified, refer to the proper pin type based on the datasheet.

I’ll update the RFFC5072 terminal pin types in-place using the datasheet pin functions, then verify the properties were changed correctly.

flux

Updated and verified the previously unspecified RFFC5072 pins:
  • ENBL/GPO5: Bi-Directional
  • EXT_LO: Input
  • EXT_LO_DEC: Passive
  • REXT: Passive
  • MODE/GPO6: Bi-Directional
  • REF_IN: Input
  • RESETX: Input
  • ENX: Input
  • SCLK: Input
  • SDATA: Input
I also added datasheet-derived pin descriptions for each of those terminals.
