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.
