- The 1st page of a datasheet is written by marketing. It can still give you an idea of what the chip is about, but it often contains the performance data under the best conditions. The conditions are rarely specified on the 1st page.
- Always check the electrical characteristics section and the charts. That’s the engineering information, and the source of truth. If tables & charts don’t agree with the 1st page, then go by tables & charts.
When the 1st page doesn’t fully agree with tables & charts, that’s rarely an engineering error, that’s usually marketing and specsmanchip.
