DE: Activity 1.1.7 Data Sheets

Who fought in the Battle of Hastings in 1066? Who invented Silly Putty? Which of the Wright brothers flew first? All very important questions, but it would simply be impossible to keep all of the answers to such questions in your head. This is why we turn to the available resources like the internet and textbooks to retrieve such information when necessary.

The same information overload is true when it comes to integrated circuits. What is the function of a MAN6760? How many pins does an LM555 Timer have? What is the maximum supply voltage for a 74LS08?

In this activity you will learn how to obtain and extract information from the manufacturer’s datasheet for several components commonly used in digital electronics.
