Part Datasheet Audit


I’ll correct the part properties and pad geometry to TI’s recommended land pattern, then perform a fresh symbol/footprint audit.
I’m reading the current pad rules and pin metadata now; after that I’ll apply only datasheet-backed changes.
The project is a part definition: nine terminal objects form the symbol. I’m now resolving the exact pad nodes and authoritative TI pin/land-pattern data before editing.
The part-level manufacturer and datasheet fields are present; the MPN remains the non-orderable base name. I’m confirming the exact DSG drawing and recommended solder-land dimensions before changing it.
Metadata, pin roles, and all nine lands are updated. I’m doing the final read-back now to verify dimensions, pin numbering, and stored properties.
Updated and re-checked the part against TI’s DSG0008A data.
  • Corrected MPN to DRV8231DSGR, package to 8-WSON, and added operating, temperature, and descriptive metadata.
  • Corrected signal lands to 0.50 × 0.25 mm, centered at X = ±0.70 mm, with 0.50 mm pitch.
  • Corrected exposed pad to 0.90 × 1.60 mm.
  • Added datasheet-backed descriptions and electrical types for all nine terminals.
  • Verified pin names, numbering, pad positions, package body, and footprint orientation; no remaining pinout or effective-geometry mismatches found.
