Hello.
I am not sure if TI maintains their Ultra Librarian CAD models, and I am not even sure if this is the right place to post this question but here it goes:
It seems to me that the footprint for the part TPSM63603 that is available for download through the Ultra Librarian has a mistake in it. I think that whoever did it was looking at the "Package Outline" section rather than the "Example Board Layout" section. The device is not completely symmetrical about the origin.
Here is the "Package Outline" drawing
,
and here is the "Board Layout" drawing:
When I download the footprint and import it into KiCad, this is what I get:
And I think the 3D model of the device superimposed onto the footprint confirms my suspicions:
As you can see in the picture above, the pins are misaligned with the pads on the footprint.
And before you ask, yes, my 3D model is properly orientated:
The picture above is with the 3D model's opacity reduced so that you can clearly see the pads and the orientation of the model.
Please fix this. I have already done so in my design, but we don't want people using a carelessly designed footprint now do we?
