Datasheet

Links where you can find more part datasheets.

The datasheet is detailed technical documentation for electronic components, usually in English. It can contain the following parts:

• overview of features (bits, frequency etc.),
• picture of case with pin numbers and names (pinout),
• description how it works,
• detailed description of pins,
• internal schematic,
• example usage,
• table of absolute maximum ratings,
• waveform of signals with marked times,
• tables of minimum or maximum value of parametrers (current, voltage, capacity, resistance, time of switching, temperature),
• case variants and dimensions.

Possible forms of datasheet:

• printed book,
• PDF file with scans (usually 0.5MB to 3MB), you need Acrobat Reader to see it,
• PDF file with vector contents (usually 50kB to 300kB), you need Acrobat Reader to see it,
• other format (e.g. the datasheet for intel 8257 was distributed as archive of scans in TIFF files).

Nice datasheet storage. Recently they add their own color page into PDF, what requires Acrobat Reader 6.
