In most cases if you need to order a
component you will need to know the:
- pin outs
- specifications
- package information
It always helps to know who the manufacturer
of the device is. Usually the first two letters of the component part number
indicates the manufacturer. Here are some commonly used names:-
Typical Part Number |
Manufacturer |
LM XYZ |
|
AD XYZ |
|
MC XYZ |
If you are in luck and if YOU DO KNOW THE
PART NUMBER, then use some internet web based search engines; enter the part
number exactly as it appears with letters in the search field. From my
experience, Google
has performed with amazing accuracy. Following are some direct links to
manufacturers. Please note that many data sheets and large files are in PDF
format, you will need to download Adobe Acrobat to read these
files.
