Received notification from "PD70211 Pin Verification" that it finished — picking the work back up.
The independent pin review has finished. I’m applying its findings to the completion check and will correct any specific discrepancies it identified.
Populated Pin Description and Pin Type for all 37 terminals from Rev. B Table 3-1.
  • Pins 8/9 remain separate, equivalent VPN_IN terminals.
  • Pins 10/11 remain separate, equivalent VPN_OUT terminals.
  • EPAD remains pin 37 and mapped to EP.
  • Independent verification found and corrected one wording discrepancy on pin 2.
  • No component-review or ERC issues were returned.

Part Audit Report
Part: PD70211ILQ-TR
Audit date: 2026-08-19
Audit basis: Current Flux part project plus Microchip datasheet DS00003672B, Rev. B (09/2021).
Official datasheet: https://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/aemDocuments/documents/POE/ProductDocuments/DataSheets/PD70211_PD_Controller_with_Switching_Regulator_Datasheet_DS00003672B.pdf
1. Audit disposition
  • Datasheet URL mutation: Not performed. The exact project property Datasheet URL was already populated, so the requested conditional mutation was not applicable.
  • Stored datasheet: The current uploaded PDF resolves and identifies itself as official Microchip DS00003672A (Rev. A, 10/2020). It explicitly covers PD70211ILQ-TR and the QFN-36 package.
  • Latest official source used for audit: DS00003672B (Rev. B, 09/2021). Rev. B specifically updated Figure 4-1, Table 4-1, and the Recommended PCB Layout section (Rev. History, p. 36).
  • Terminal accounting: 37/37 terminals are present: perimeter pins 1–36 plus exposed pad 37.
  • Footprint accounting: 37/37 copper pads are present and mapped by terminal identity.
  • Geometry mutation: None. Symbol pins and footprint geometry were not altered.

Duplicates/omissions: No pin numbers are duplicated or omitted. Pins 8/9 and 10/11 correctly represent duplicated physical functions, but the project adds _1/_2 suffixes rather than preserving the datasheet’s identical pin names. Pin 37 is present and bound to the center pad.
5. Symbol/render audit
  • All 37 terminal objects have unique pin numbers 1–37 and explicit symbol pin positions.
  • The parametric arrangement groups pins around four sides and is logically complete.
  • The current direct part-project image/flat render returned blank, and get_symbol could not resolve a version because the newly created part has no project history commit. Therefore visual text-overlap/body-shape verification is unresolved, although the terminal metadata and positions were fully inspected.
  • No terminal has Pin Description, Pin Group, Pin Orientation, Section, or Terminal Order metadata; only Symbol Pin Position, Pin Number, and Pin Type=Unspecified were observed.
6. Footprint audit
Present geometry
  • Pads: 37 total: pads 1–36 around the perimeter, 9 per side, plus center pad 37.
  • Pitch: 0.50 mm on all four sides.
  • Perimeter lands: rectangular 0.30 mm × 1.00 mm; centers at ±2.85 mm from package center, with coordinates at –2.0 to +2.0 mm in 0.5 mm steps.
  • Center EP land: 4.20 mm × 4.20 mm, centered at (0,0), mapped to terminal EP / pin 37.
  • Body/fabrication outline: 6.00 mm × 6.00 mm; pin-1 chamfer shown in fabrication outline.
  • Courtyard: 7.20 mm × 7.20 mm.
  • Pin-1 marker: circle at approximately (–3.35, –2.75) mm; pad 1 is on the left side nearest the lower-left corner in the footprint coordinate system. Numbering then proceeds counter-clockwise around the package: 1–9 left, 10–18 top, 19–27 right, 28–36 bottom. This is consistent with the top-view QFN convention in Figure 3-1/Figure 4-1.
Datasheet comparison
  • Package body, lead count, pitch, and EP size are consistent with Table 4-1 (pp. 22–23).
  • The 0.30 mm land width is at the maximum package-terminal width and the 1.00 mm land length extends beyond the 0.45–0.65 mm package lead, which is a plausible solder land rather than a package-lead copy.
  • Rev. B’s recommended layout is shown in Figures 4-2 through 4-5 (pp. 24–27), based on IPC7093A October 2020. The datasheet explicitly notes a 5 mil stencil and 0.05 mm radius on all paste openings (Figure 4-4, p. 26).
  • The current footprint places F.Paste over the entire 4.20 mm × 4.20 mm exposed pad as one opening. This does not reproduce the datasheet’s dedicated patterned paste-mask figure and creates a likely assembly risk (excess solder, package float, and voiding).
  • No thermal-via array is encoded in the footprint. Because EPAD must connect to the VPN_IN plane and thermal performance depends strongly on PCB construction, the recommended copper/via implementation should be confirmed from Figures 4-2 through 4-5 before manufacturing.
  • OCR extraction did not recover all dimension callouts embedded in Figures 4-2 through 4-5. Exact recommended solder-mask expansion, paste-window dimensions/coverage, and via pattern remain unresolved and require visual/mechanical reading of those figures.
Pad/terminal binding
Every pad node is bound to the terminal carrying the same functional identity and pin number. The only naming normalizations are VPN_IN_1/2, VPN_OUT_1/2, and EP instead of datasheet EPAD. No swapped, missing, or extra pad binding was found.
7. Part-review checks
The Component Review Checks interface returned no matching review-check records for the requested part-review categories. This is not equivalent to a clean automated review; it means no results were exposed for this newly created/published part at audit time. The manual findings below therefore govern.
8. Findings by severity
High
  1. All 37 symbol terminals have Pin Type=Unspecified. This prevents meaningful electrical-rule checking and fails the requested electrical pin-type fidelity against the datasheet.
  2. Exposed-pad paste aperture is a single full-size 4.20 mm square. Rev. B provides a patterned recommended paste mask (Figure 4-4, p. 26); the current full-area paste definition is a manufacturing risk and should be reviewed before use.
Medium
  1. All 37 terminals lack pin descriptions. Datasheet Table 3-1 provides authoritative descriptions on pp. 16–21.
  2. Stored Datasheet URL points to older Rev. A rather than latest official Rev. B. It is still an official, applicable datasheet, and the task permitted URL mutation only when absent; therefore it was intentionally not changed.
  3. No thermal-via pattern is included for EPAD. Exact requirements must be confirmed from the recommended-layout figures and the target PCB stackup/thermal design.
  4. Exact recommended land-pattern conformance is unresolved. The current 0.30 mm × 1.00 mm perimeter lands and 4.20 mm EP are nominally plausible, but image-embedded dimensions from Figures 4-2–4-5 were not machine-extractable.
  5. Rendered symbol could not be visually validated because the direct render was blank and the part has no resolvable history version for get_symbol.
Low / naming and metadata
  1. Pin 37 is named EP rather than datasheet EPAD.
  2. Duplicate-function pins are named VPN_IN_1, VPN_IN_2, VPN_OUT_1, and VPN_OUT_2 rather than preserving identical datasheet designators.
  3. The broad Integrated Circuits type is valid but not as specific as PoE PD/power-management controller.
  4. Manufacturer naming changed historically from Microsemi to Microchip Technology; the current Microchip Technology value is appropriate for the official 2021 datasheet.
9. Unresolved uncertainty
  • Exact numeric callouts in recommended-layout Figures 4-2 through 4-5 (solder-mask expansion, paste-window geometry/coverage, and thermal-via details) require manual visual extraction from the PDF artwork.
  • 3D STEP body/lead seating and dimensions were not independently measured.
  • Symbol visual quality could not be confirmed with the current rendering endpoint; metadata completeness was confirmed instead.
