TPS65296: TPS65296 - Datasheet package drawing information doesn't match real component

Part Number: TPS65296

Hello,

We noticed that the package drawing information of TPS65296 doesn't match the real component footprint.

Is Texas Instruments aware of this issue or I just receive a counterfeit part?

Best regards,

Hi Marco,

Please check TPS65296 datasheet in TI.com. in datasheet last several page, it shows the detail package pin size. and the package information of datasheet match with silicon that you show.

BRs,

Edwin.

Hi Edwin,

Can you point where in the datasheet shows a draw that match my real component?

I still can only see drawings that have aligned pins.

I'm using the folowing link for the datasheet:

Page 32/Page33 pictures match with the component.

Please double check.

Hi Yuchang,

I'm sorry but the datasheet that I have doesn't have that information.

Please see attached datasheet:tps65296.pdf

I download it today before I started this discussion.

Best regards,

Marco

Seems your datasheet is not right for the footprint, please check below

Yes, I know that my datasheet doesn't have what you are saying.

Also, you may notice that the datasheet have been changed after our discussing.

Now what should I do with my boards that have a wrong footprint?

Best regards,

Marco

As I remembered The old footprint should be scrapped earlier, I believe you should not do lots of boards since it is first evaluation version, so I suggest you try to solder the IC to the old footprint first for your initial testing because it is only different with 16/18 pins, and the location is moved a little, Seems the IC can be soldered on, and meanwhile update footprint to do new boards.
