Part Datasheet Audit
Part Type = Inductors, Part Sub-Type = Fixed, plus an inapplicable empty Inductance property.Pin Type = Unspecified.NU must be connected to ground, but that requirement is not captured in its description.flux:datasheet: source IDs or usable [^flux:cite:…] markers. Therefore this file does not invent inline Flux citations; this is a tooling verification limitation, not a lack of primary evidence.Table
| Field | Current value | Audit result |
|---|---|---|
| Project/part name | L9396B | Matches order code in official datasheet |
| Manufacturer Part Number | L9396B | Matches the tray-packed buck variant; L9396B-TR is the tape-and-reel ordering variant |
| Manufacturer Name | STMicroelectronics | Matches |
| Project/core description metadata | Automotive multiple power supply IC | Matches the datasheet title; this is project/core metadata, not a stored component property |
| Designator Prefix | IC | Reasonable |
| Datasheet URL | https://www.st.com/resource/en/datasheet/l9396b.pdf | Present before audit; official direct PDF; no URL mutation required |
| Part Type | Inductors | Mismatch — incorrect category for a power-management/System Basis IC |
| Part Sub-Type | Fixed | Present and consistent with the erroneous inductor classification; not applicable to this IC |
| Inductance | Empty | Present but empty; further evidence that an inductor property schema was incorrectly assigned |
| Package property | Not present in project properties | Missing metadata; datasheet package is TQFP64EP, 10 × 10 × 1 mm, exposed pad down |
| Published part UID | e773c13c-0002-4d10-a0c7-8ac5e832cd05 | Inventory only |
| Project terminal count | 65 terminal objects | 64 numbered leads plus one project EP terminal |
| PCB pad count | 65 | 64 perimeter pads plus one exposed-pad land |

| Role | Asset | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Default symbol | L9396B Symbol.svg | Present; custom SVG is selected as default |
| Footprint | F_QFP50P1200X1200X120-65N.kicad_mod | Present and attached as the default footprint |
| 3D model | L9396B.stp | Present and referenced by the footprint |
| Thumbnail | image1.png | Present and marked as project thumbnail |
-TR packing suffix, so the exact current MPN is correctly interpreted as the tray order code, not the tape-and-reel variant.Unspecified; all 64 conflict with the datasheet's Input, Output, I/O, or Supply classification.Table

Part Type is Inductors. This is categorically wrong for the L9396B automotive power-management/System Basis IC and can corrupt search, BOM classification, and automated review. The accompanying Part Sub-Type: Fixed and present-but-empty Inductance property are consistent with, and add evidence of, the same erroneous inductor classification.Pin Type: Unspecified. Each conflicts with the datasheet Input/Output/I/O/Supply classification, weakening ERC and semantic checks.Pin Description. The names are correct, but the symbol omits the complete datasheet function text.Package or Case Code is not populated.Table
| Issue | Severity | Recommended remediation |
|---|---|---|
Part Type: Inductors, Part Sub-Type: Fixed, empty Inductance | High | Reclassify as an integrated circuit / automotive power-management or System Basis IC; remove inductor-only subtype and property. |
| EP authored as electrical terminal/pad 65 without a datasheet-defined pin or net | High | Obtain official ST application/package guidance for exposed-pad electrical connection. Until verified, clearly mark the terminal as electrically unverified; do not assume GNDA, GNDD, or GNDBST. Preserve the physical 4.5 × 4.5 mm land. |
All documented pins have Pin Type: Unspecified | Medium | Populate pins 1–64 with the Input, Output, I/O, or Supply types from Table 2; retain the Local/Global qualifier in description or role metadata if Flux has no dedicated field. |
| All documented pins lack descriptions | Medium | Populate pins 1–64 with the exact Table 2 function descriptions. |
| Missing package/case and mount metadata | Medium | Set package/case to TQFP64EP, 10 × 10 × 1 mm, exposed pad down and mount to SMD using the project's approved property taxonomy. |
| NU pin 53 grounding requirement not captured | Medium | Add the exact description Not used. To be connected to ground voltage. and an appropriate input/passive ERC type; document the mandatory ground connection. |
| No explicit courtyard | Low | Add or validate a courtyard against the organization's assembly-clearance standard or a qualified IPC land-pattern source; the ST datasheet does not define one. |
| Full-size EP paste aperture | Low / manufacturing risk | Have assembly engineering select a paste-window pattern and coverage appropriate for the 4.5 mm EP; the ST datasheet does not specify stencil details. |
| STEP model dimensions and seating unverified | Low | Measure the model bounding box and check 10 × 10 mm body, ≤1.20 mm height, z=0 seating, pin-1 orientation, and lead/pad alignment before release. |
