Reading Component Datasheets!

cespecialist

I’m planning a practical post on how to interpret component datasheets for real designs—what the different parameters and graphs are actually telling you.

Before I start, I’d like to get some feedback: would this be useful to the community?

  • Some twenty years ago, I worked with a electronic technician that made data sheets his bathroom read. I'm not sure if did it at home but I work, he would head off to the commode with a supplier tomb of specs.

    His skill was unique. He could pop open the case of television and with VOM meter probes between two fingers of one hand locate the fault, without the aid of a schematic. He said he could retain knowledge from the spec books.

    Your project is ambitious. You could spend considerable time on spec sheets for transistors alone. I think it would be difficult to understand the spec sheets without some formal training. Good luck.

    Very interesting story.  Sounds like this guy lived and breathed datashhets.  Hard to know in the end if he had super mental powers or just a super laser focused interest.  Either way, it's very impressive.
