| 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) | |||
