datasheets
Technical specification documents
Datasheets are technical documents specifying a product's characteristics, capabilities, and operating parameters.
Manufacturers publish datasheets for electronic components, chemicals, equipment, and other products so engineers and buyers can evaluate specifications: Check the datasheet for the chip's voltage requirements.
A datasheet typically includes dimensions, tolerances, performance curves, and safety information.
