How to Read a Datasheet

About the Webinar

AD5422 Protection Diode +1

Can the ADM2582E not have pull-up/pull-down resistors? +1

Say, if the specs are at 5 V and 25 °C and I have to use the part at 7.5 V and 50 °C and I have two separate curves for voltage and temperature, how can I combine them? +1

Do all parts have a Pin 1 indication? +1

Do I connect or don't connect NC pin? +1

Do datasheets include descriptions of the tests performed during manufacturing, for example for an ADC? +1

A lot of scalar numbers are specified in ways that may be appropriate for one application but not another. +1

If the performance curves change, does this induce a PCN? +1

If there is an input and or output capaitance specification on a data sheet, how does ADI test this at the package level? +1

What solder-ability risks are there from uncontrolled storage and only baking before use, particularly in a high humidity environment? +1

Are PSpice models available for the products? +1

Where I can find the Life cycle status and RoHs status? +1

How much effort do you put in definition of the absolute max values? +1

For eval kits, do you provide choice between boards with soldered ICs, and boards with sockets? +1

Is thermal data / thermal resistance reliable? Is it true or exaggerated? +1

Are BSDL file/s included on the website datasheet? +1

Can you predict the surface temperature of a resistor or a semiconductor using its data sheet? +1

How do I get on a list to receive ADI PCN's? +1

Does water moisture freezing, i.e. expansion cause an issue with packages once they are placed? +1
