Table 1 Data Sheet Classifications
CLASSIFICATION
DESCRIPTION
Advance
Information
Used to advise customers of the proposed addition to the product line. This
document will typically contain some useful information including
interfacing with the user’s system and some specifications. The goal of this
document is to allow customers to begin designs but with expectation of
changes. Specification details may be changed later without notice.
Preliminary
Information
Describes pre-production or first production devices and is usually indicative
of production stage performance. Minor changes should be expected as
characteristic spreads become better controlled. Specification details may be
changed slightly without notice, but the customer can design their product
based on this data sheet.
Production Data Defines the long-term specified production limits based on fully
characterized data. It includes a disclaimer to allow improvements in
specifications and modifications that do not affect form, fit or function in
original applications; if absolute maximum ratings are changed, they should
improve rather than downgrade.
Using PDF Documents
Electronic documents are provided as PDF files. Open and view them using the Adobe®
Acrobat® Reader application, version 3.0 or later. If necessary, download the Acrobat
Reader from the Adobe Systems, Inc. web site:
http://www.adobe.com/prodindex/acrobat/readstep.html
PDF files offer several ways for moving among the document’s pages, as follows:
• To move quickly from section to section within the document, use the Acrobat
bookmarks that appear on the left side of the Acrobat Reader window. The bookmarks
provide an expandable outline view of the document’s contents. To display the
document’s Acrobat bookmarks, press the “Display both bookmarks and page” button
on the Acrobat Reader tool bar.
• To move to the referenced page of an entry in the document’s Contents or Index, click
on the entry itself, each of which is hyperlinked.
• To follow a cross-reference to a heading, figure, or table, click the blue text.
