INA236 Datasheet 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 the official TI datasheet if needed, update the Datasheet property, then verify the symbol, footprint, and pin descriptions against it.
The metadata and terminal corrections are in place. I’m doing a final read-back against the TI pin table and package data before closing the audit.
Audit completed and the part now references the official Texas Instruments INA236 datasheet.
  • Metadata corrected: manufacturer, description, DDF 8-pin package, operating temperature, part type, and Datasheet URL.
  • Symbol verified: all eight pin names and numbers match the datasheet. Missing pin descriptions and electrical types were added.
  • Footprint verified: correct 0.65 mm pitch, eight-pad sequence, DDF package outline, and pin-to-pad mapping.
  • Key specs: 1.7–5.5 V supply, −0.3–48 V common-mode range, 16-bit ADC, ±1 µV typical offset, ±0.015% typical gain error, and −40°C to +125°C operation.
  • Flagged: pads are approximately 1.003 × 0.432 mm versus TI’s 1.05 × 0.45 mm example, with 2.654 mm versus 2.60 mm row spacing. This is a plausible IPC-7351 alternate land pattern, so copper geometry was not changed.
  • Minor footprint issue: legacy dimensional/source text may overlap visually, but it does not affect pad mapping or manufacturability. One generic DRC error remains without enough diagnostic detail to attribute safely.
