Part Information Audit and Review


Completed the BQ24074RGTT part audit and updated the project with the official TI datasheet URL: https://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/bq24074.pdf.
Summary: the symbol pin names/numbers and 16-VQFN footprint with exposed pad match the TI datasheet. The main issue found is metadata quality: terminal pin types and detailed pin descriptions are currently unspecified/incomplete, so ERC usefulness is reduced.
Full review is saved in BQ24074RGTT Part Review.
Fix the terminal pin types and descriptions from the TI datasheet.
I’ll update each terminal with datasheet-derived electrical pin type and functional description, then verify the terminal metadata afterward.
Fixed the BQ24074RGTT terminal metadata from the TI datasheet.
Updated all 17 terminals with datasheet-derived Pin Type and Pin Description, including standard pin types for IN, OUT, BAT, VSS, EP, open-drain status outputs, and programming/control pins. Verification passed, and the terminal-related part review checks returned no reported issues.
Please also convert the symbol to parametric style,and place each pin into the correct section based on the datasheet.
I’ll switch the symbol metadata to parametric style, assign each terminal to datasheet-based functional sections, and verify the resulting symbol properties.
Updated the symbol metadata to Parametric style.
I assigned each pin to a datasheet-based section and orientation: power-path pins to Power, VSS/EP to Ground, TS to Analog, and control/programming/status pins to Control. I also set terminal order by datasheet pin number and verified the updates; terminal/parametric review checks returned no reported issues.

Footprint Cross-Check
Project footprint asset: VQFN-16_L3.0-W3.0-P0.50-TL-EP1.7.
Observed footprint details:
  • 16 perimeter SMD pads on 0.50 mm pitch.
  • Body nominal 3.0 mm x 3.0 mm.
  • Exposed pad pad 17, 1.70 mm x 1.70 mm.
  • Pin-1 marker present near the pin-1 corner.
  • Pad numbering orientation matches the datasheet top-view convention: pins 1-4 on left side, 5-8 along bottom, 9-12 on right side, 13-16 along top, and exposed pad 17 in the center.
Status Output / Control Notes
  • CHG and PGOOD are open-drain outputs and require pull-up resistors or LED pull-up paths in an application schematic.
  • EN1 and EN2 select input current limit:
    • EN2=0, EN1=0: USB100, 100 mA max input current.
    • EN2=0, EN1=1: USB500, 500 mA max input current.
    • EN2=1, EN1=0: resistor-programmed ILIM.
    • EN2=1, EN1=1: standby / USB suspend.
  • CE is active low; high disables charging while OUT remains active and supplement mode remains available.
Required External Components in an Application
The part symbol and footprint are library primitives, not a complete charger application. Designs using this part should include:
  • IN bypass capacitor: 1 uF to 10 uF from IN to VSS.
  • BAT bypass capacitor: 4.7 uF to 47 uF from BAT to VSS.
  • OUT bypass capacitor: 4.7 uF to 47 uF from OUT to VSS.
  • ISET resistor to VSS, 590 ohm to 8.9 k, otherwise charging is disabled.
  • ILIM resistor to VSS, 1.1 k to 8 k when using EN2=1 / EN1=0; leaving ILIM open disables all charging.
  • TS connection to 10 k NTC in the battery pack, or 10 k fixed resistor from TS to VSS if unused.
  • Pull-ups or LED paths for CHG and PGOOD if status indication is used.
  • VSS and EP both connected to board ground, with adequate copper/thermal vias for heat spreading.
Mismatches / Issues Found
  1. No symbol pin-number mismatch found. All 17 project terminals match the BQ24074 RGT datasheet pin names and numbers.
  2. No footprint pad-count mismatch found. The footprint has 16 perimeter pads plus exposed pad 17, matching the datasheet package.
  3. No footprint package-size mismatch found. The footprint is a 3 mm x 3 mm, 0.50 mm pitch VQFN with 1.7 mm exposed pad, consistent with the package naming and datasheet package family.
  4. Pin electrical/type metadata is incomplete. Every terminal currently has Pin Type: Unspecified; the datasheet defines power, ground, input, output, and bidirectional/power-stage behavior. This may reduce ERC usefulness.
  5. Terminal descriptions are incomplete. Project terminals do not currently carry the datasheet functional descriptions; adding pin descriptions would improve review quality.
Recommendation
The symbol and footprint are usable for BQ24074RGTT. The main improvement is metadata hygiene: update terminal pin types and descriptions to match the datasheet so automated checks and downstream users get correct electrical intent.
