Ctrl+Listen Podcast

Are you ready to bridge the gap between datasheets and real-world solutions? Join us in this comprehensive webinar, "Webinar: From Specs to Solutions: How to Interpret Datasheets," hosted by Zachariah-Peterson. This session delves into the essential details engineers need to know to interpret datasheets for their components effectively. Discover how to extract key information from datasheets, navigate what isn't included, and apply this knowledge to design superior products. You will learn: • How to read and interpret the critical data within a component's datasheet.

• What vital information lies beyond the datasheets, including product change notifications, application notes, and silicon revisions.

• Ways to utilize design guidelines and application examples effectively.

• How to ensure compliance with environmental regulations, including RoHS, REACH, and more. Key Takeaways: • Comprehensive datasheet interpretation skills for both electrical and mechanical components.

• Knowledge of additional documentation sources, including distributor websites and third-party databases.

• Tips for lifecycle management, including product change notifications and handling silicon revisions.

• Practical strategies for applying technical documentation to product design. 0:00: Intro 0:23: The webinar agenda 0:55 What's in a datasheet 2:22 Datasheet example 4:30 What's not in a datasheet 5:36 Mechanicals vs. footprints 7:56 Application circuits vs. PCB design guidelines 10:19 Test circuits 10:48 Change notifications & silicon revisions 13:15 MCUs, MPUs, FPGAs, etc. 15:45 What's not in a datasheet cont. 18:19 Where to find parts documentation and additional info 20:15 Q&A Browse Octopart for Parts & Tech News
