TPS3436 Part Audit

Audit result — scoped task completed Change made
  • Added the previously absent Datasheet URL property:
  • Verification:
    • Property now appears in project metadata under the exact name Datasheet URL.
    • Commit #d1f6d962 reports one property path changed and no other edited paths.
Official TI identity and key specifications
  • Exact MPN: TPS3436BFACADDFRQ1
  • Manufacturer: Texas Instruments
  • Device: Automotive nano-IQ precision window watchdog timer
  • Qualification: AEC-Q100 Grade 1
  • Specified VDD range: 1.04–6.0 V
  • Typical supply current: 250 nA
  • Ambient operating range: –40°C to +125°C
  • Package: DDF, 8-pin SOT-23-THIN/SOT-23-THN
  • TI package drawing: DDF0008A
  • Nominal body: 2.90 × 1.60 mm; 1.1 mm maximum height
  • Lead pitch: 0.65 mm
  • Exact MPN status from TI: Active; 3000-piece tape-and-reel; MSL 1
Metadata findings
Correct:
  • MPN: TPS3436BFACADDFRQ1
  • Manufacturer: Texas Instruments
  • Designator prefix: U
  • Part type: Integrated Circuit
  • Datasheet URL now points directly to the official TI PDF.
  • Description generally identifies the device, operating range, low current, automotive qualification, and DDF package correctly.
Issues/uncertainties:
  • No explicit Package or Case Code property is present; package identity exists only through the description and footprint assets.
  • No explicit pin-count property is present, although exactly eight terminals exist.
  • Description uses “TSOT-23,” while TI’s formal naming is SOT-23-THIN/SOT-23-THN, DDF.
  • The description combines broad family capabilities; not every stated timing/output option was independently verified as applicable to this exact ordering code.
Schematic-symbol audit
The exact MPN’s first option code is B, meaning Pin Configuration B. TI specifies:

Table


PinCorrect Option-B functionCurrent symbol
1SET0SET0
2CWDMR_N — mismatch
3CRSTWDI — mismatch
4GNDGND
5SET1SET1
6WDIWD-EN — mismatch
7WDO, active-low/open-drain variantWDO_N
8VDDVDD
Therefore the symbol currently represents Pin Configuration C, not the Option-B pinout required by TPS3436BFACADDFRQ1.
Additional terminal metadata defects:
  • All eight terminals have Pin Type = Unspecified.
  • Pin descriptions are absent.
  • Pin groups are absent.
  • Explicit orientation properties are absent, despite graphical left/right placement.
  • Terminal-order fields are absent.
  • Section and suffix fields are absent.
  • MR_N and WDO_N are reasonable text representations of active-low names, but MR does not exist on Option B.
  • Correct electrical classifications should distinguish VDD power input, GND ground, logic/timing inputs, and WDO open-drain output.
PCB-footprint audit
Correct:
  • Eight numbered SMD pads are present.
  • Pad numbering follows the standard DDF counterclockwise arrangement.
  • Footprint identifies DDF0008A.
  • Pad pitch is 0.65 mm.
  • Body fabrication outline is approximately 2.9 × 1.6 mm.
  • Pin-1 marker is present.
  • The attached 3D model is DDF0008A.stp.
Mismatches/uncertainties:
  • Pad terminal labels inherit the incorrect Option-C symbol mapping:
    • Pad 2 is labeled MR_N rather than CWD.
    • Pad 3 is labeled WDI rather than CRST.
    • Pad 6 is labeled WD-EN rather than WDI.
  • Footprint asset filename references TPS3436BFACADDFRQ1, but its terminal mapping does not match that exact MPN.
  • Implemented pads are approximately 1.7565 × 0.5000 mm. TI’s example DDF land pattern shows approximately 1.05 × 0.45 mm lands. The footprint is marked DDF0008A-IPC_A, so the larger pads may reflect an IPC density-level choice, but they do not reproduce TI’s example land pattern and should be mechanically reviewed.
  • No footprint package/case property independently binds the geometry to DDF; identity relies on asset names and embedded footprint text.
Scope status
  • Completed: Datasheet research, metadata audit, all eight terminals, symbol semantics, footprint geometry/pad numbering/package identity, and Datasheet URL update.
  • Intentionally unmodified: All symbol, terminal, metadata, and footprint discrepancies, per instruction not to alter anything except the absent Datasheet URL.
  • Primary blocking defect: The symbol and pad labels use Option-C connectivity while the exact MPN requires Option-B connectivity.
Audit complete. I added the official TI datasheet URL: https://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/tps3436-q1.pdf and verified that it was the only property changed.
  • Part: TPS3436BFACADDFRQ1, Texas Instruments automotive window watchdog
  • Key specs: 1.04–6 V VDD, 250 nA typical IQ, −40°C to +125°C, AEC-Q100 Grade 1
  • Package: 8-pin DDF SOT-23-THIN, 0.65 mm pitch, nominal 2.9 × 1.6 mm body
  • Critical mismatch: The exact B-option MPN requires pins 2/3/6 = CWD/CRST/WDI, but the symbol and footprint currently use MR_N/WDI/WD-EN, corresponding to option C.
  • Other issues: All pin types are unspecified; pin descriptions/groups are missing; no explicit package/case property is set; description says “TSOT-23” rather than TI’s formal DDF designation.
  • Footprint: Eight-pad numbering and pitch are correct, but its approximately 1.7565 × 0.50 mm pads are substantially longer than TI’s example 1.05 × 0.45 mm land pattern and merit review.
No mismatches besides the missing datasheet link were modified.

    Automotive Nano-Power Precision Window Watchdog Timer – Automotive-grade precision window watchdog timer for automotive ECUs, ADAS, industrial controllers, safety-critical embedded systems, and microcontroller supervision. Operates from a 1.04 V to 6.0 V supply with an ultra-low 250 nA typical quiescent current, making it ideal for always-on and battery-powered applications. Features a programmable precision window watchdog with ±10% timing accuracy, factory-programmed or capacitor-programmable watchdog timeout (1 ms to 100 s), programmable reset delay (2 ms to 10 s), watchdog startup delay, open-window to close-window ratio selection (1× to 511×), manual reset (MR) support, latched or non-latched fault output, and open-drain active-low watchdog output for reliable system monitoring. Qualified to AEC-Q100 Grade 1, it operates over a −40°C to +125°C ambient temperature range and is housed in a compact 8-pin TSOT-23 (DDF) package.
