None. The part-level Datasheet URL was already populated, so it was not replaced. No unrelated metadata, terminals, symbol, or footprint geometry was altered.
Flagged mismatches
- Description incorrectly says “Closed Loop”; official datasheet explicitly says “Open loop.”
- All 13 terminals have
Pin Type = Unspecified; official functions support specific power, ground, output, NC, and passive classifications. - All terminal descriptions are absent.
- Primary terminal names add
IP+/IP−polarity not explicitly present in the official pin-assignment table. - No PCB keepout/rule captures LEM’s minimum 30 mm neighboring-component distance from primary terminals or the >11 mm isolation guidance.
- Current Datasheet URL is not the supplied official LEM URL, although it is not missing; therefore it was intentionally left unchanged.
Thought for 54 sec
Audit completed against the official LEM HOB‑P datasheet. The 13-pin footprint and pin numbering match, but the description incorrectly says closed-loop instead of open-loop; all pin types/descriptions are also missing, and no PCB constraint captures the specified isolation/primary-terminal keepout guidance.
- Key specs: 50 A nominal, ±125 A range, 4.6–5.5 V supply, 16 mV/A sensitivity, 2.5 V reference, 1 MHz bandwidth, −40 to +105 °C.
- Footprint: Correct 0.9 mm secondary drills, 2.15 mm primary drills, primary spacing, and 38 × 22 mm body.
- Datasheet: Already populated and resolves to the official LEM document, so no update was required.
- Main risks: Incorrect technology description, unspecified electrical pin types, absent pin descriptions, and missing >11 mm isolation/30 mm neighboring-component constraint.
