DRV8212 Audit


Review all available part information (MPN, package, pin count, description, properties). If no datasheet URL is already set, search the web for the official datasheet and update the part's Datasheet property with the URL. Then cross-check the schematic symbol, footprint, and pin descriptions against the datasheet. Summarize key specs and flag any mismatches.
I’ll audit the part metadata, locate and attach the official datasheet if needed, then verify the symbol pins and footprint against it and report any discrepancies.
I’m reading the part project’s metadata, terminal table, and physical footprint first; then I’ll compare them against TI’s source documentation.
Audit complete. The DRV8212DRLR pin numbering and footprint pad mapping match TI’s 6-pin DRL package, but several metadata-quality issues remain.
  • Correct: MPN, 6-pin count, SOT-5X3/DRL package, and pin mapping: 1-IN1, 2-IN2, 3-GND, 4-OUT2, 5-VM, 6-OUT1.
  • Mismatch: Manufacturer is set to “Te”; it should be Texas Instruments.
  • Missing: All symbol pins use Unspecified electrical types and have no descriptions. They should be Inputs, Outputs, Power/Ground, with datasheet-derived descriptions.
  • Footprint variance: Existing pads are approximately 0.711 × 0.229 mm; TI’s current recommended land pattern specifies 0.67 × 0.30 mm pads. Pitch is correctly 0.50 mm, but the pads are narrower than recommended.
  • Datasheet: A datasheet URL was already populated, so it was not replaced. Official TI URL: https://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/drv8212.pdf
  • Key specs: 1.65–11 V motor supply, 4 A peak output, 280 mΩ combined H-bridge resistance, up to 100 kHz PWM, −40°C to +125°C ambient range, internal input pulldowns, and required 0.1 µF VM bypass plus bulk capacitance.
