A datasheet is a document summarizing the characteristics of an electronic component in sufficient detail that a skilled engineer can integrate the component to a new circuit design.
Typical datasheet information
A typical datasheet contains some of the following information:
- manufacturers name
- product number and name
- a list of available package formats (with images) and ordering codes
- notable device properties
- a short functional description
- pin connection diagram
- absolute minimum, maximum ratings (supply voltage, power consumption, input currents, temperatures for storage, operating, and soldering, etc)
- recommended operating conditions (as absolute minimum, maximum ratings)
- a table of DC specifications (various temperatures, supply voltages, input currents etc)
- a table of AC specifications (various temperatures, supply voltages, frequencies etc)
- an input/output wave shape diagram
- physical device diagram showing minimum/typical/maximum physical dimensions
- test circuit
- ordering codes for differing packages and performance criteria
- disclaimer preventing device use in high risk environments such as nuclear power stations and life-critical systems.
The datasheet sometimes contains circuit diagrams of typical use, however this information is often placed in an application note to a high level of detail.
Datasheets are typically available in two forms: a databook containing many data sheets, usually grouped by manufacturer or general type. They are also available from the Internet in table form or downloadable pdf format.
