Reading a data sheet

Robert Adsett
Guru 27665 points


There have on occasion been some people who have had trouble reading a data sheet. To help those who wish to learn more I'm passing along some references.

http://www.egr.msu.edu/classes/ece480/capstone/f13/datasheets.pdf - Nice introduction from MSU

http://www.ti.com/lit/an/szza036b/szza036b.pdf - From TI. More complicated and tends to concentrate on logic 

Troubleshooting Analog Circuits by Robert A. Pease - The experienced among us will recognize him as a design Guru from National. I stumbled across a copy of this and it looks like I will have to add it to my library.  It has an appendix on reading data sheets and covers why what you think is tested might be different from what is actually tested. He's usually a good read but I haven't spent enough time with this to whole heartedly recommend it.

     Hi Robert, I am pleased see you remembered of our great mentor and reference about analog across many year of design. I am forever grate to Bob his support and great book like data sheet application notes and all book and what was written. I don't mention more than one link due to policy of this worst forum.

    Might that be, "Great (past) company?"

    One never to be forgotten Bob quote, "My favorite programming language is SOLDER!"  (one notes that (before) the arrival of fine pitch SMT!)

     I never forget this and still this is my preferred language too, SMD just get thing more difficult but help a lot with fast devices so I can do some better devices. If I found where it is I can post a picture of my prototype of line driver soldered to a small 3.5mm jack socket all smd based. Soldering art got another way expressive but my age is limiting me too much. ;)

     After simulating real test must be run and all parasitic and real parameter has to be understood. Raising frequency this is more difficult lump and simulated get far from real distributed parameter.
