Part Information Review and Datasheet Update

I reviewed the part project for YMF262-M and cross-checked it against a Yamaha YMF262 archived datasheet scan.

Symbol / pin cross-check
Good news:
  • The symbol has 24 terminals, matching the datasheet pin count.
  • The terminal names appear to match the datasheet pin list overall:
    • supply, control, address, data bus, DAC timing/data, and clock pins are all present
  • Pin numbering in the symbol is populated for all terminals.

AreaFindingSeverity
Pin typesAll 24 terminals are set to Pin Type: UnspecifiedHigh
Pin descriptionsThe project does not currently store the datasheet pin functions/descriptions on the terminalsHigh
Special electrical behaviorDatasheet-specific behaviors are not captured: open-drain /IRQ, pull-up inputs /IC and /CS, TEST normally NC, bidirectional data bus pinsHigh
Footprint verification depthI could confirm 24 pads and a SOP/SOIC-style footprint, but the exposed layout data does not include enough geometry to fully verify pad sizes/toe/heel against the datasheet drawingMedium
Naming styleThe project uses ØM / ØSY; datasheet OCR renders these as 0M / 0SY, which is likely just character recognition noise, not a real mismatchLow
What this means
The part is mostly structurally correct:
  • MPN, manufacturer, description, package family, and pin count all line up.
  • The footprint appears broadly consistent with a 24-pin, 1.27 mm pitch SOP/SOIC.
But the part is not yet fully datasheet-synced because:
  • terminal electrical types are missing
  • terminal descriptions are missing
  • key pin semantics from the datasheet are not encoded
Recommended fixes
  1. Add terminal pin types from the datasheet:
    • power, ground, input, output, bidirectional, open-drain, etc.
  2. Add per-pin descriptions/functions.
  3. Mark the TEST pin as normally NC in its description.
  4. Preserve the current datasheet URL unless you specifically want an archived Yamaha scan URL swapped in.
If you want, I can next:
  • update all terminal properties to match the datasheet pin table, or
  • do a stricter footprint audit against the SOP-24 mechanical drawing.
