Using Data Sheets to Compare and Contrast Components

Making a good match between a component and its in-circuit use is the first, critical modeling step

  • Chapter
Semiconductor Modeling

Abstract

Data sheets are documents created by suppliers for marketing the behavior of their semiconductor devices. The data sheets characterize device behavior over the device’s range of operation and population spread. The data curves in the data sheets are similar to behavioral models. By comparing the behavior of various devices, engineers can choose the best device suitable for a particular design. Since the data sheets were developed as marketing tools, engineers must exercise judgment when using them.
