I'm not sure what it is you are addressing here but the subject is what
is available from the semiconductor web sites. I can tell you for a fact
that any manufacturer out there recognizes the benefit of getting their
products on their web sites.

Try getting NXP (ex Philips) to understand that ;-(


For chips that actually exist you can find its full specifications,
application notes, and if it has a complex or difficult
implementation it will have a reference design that some
application engineer put together. And of course you find news like
when samples will be available and when production will commence.

Again, it very much depends on your choice of vendor; some have
websites that are truly impenetrable. I find myself going first to
datasheetarchive.com nowadays. And when I design with 'mature'
devices, I can forget most manufacturer's websites as a first choice;
the chips 'exist'; it is just that the vendor has chosen to make
using them difficult.

In my previous post I was bemoaning the elimination of mature
software, manuals and datasheets that cost very little to host, which
seems to be the result of company business decisions and ownership
changes, and also the loss of many private sites that used to mirror
such materials -- gone for undocumented reasons. As to new
announcements, I used to get some 80 trade journals per month (the
bingo-card renewal process took a lot of time) and found that I was
better informed with the mass of paper than I have ever been on the
'net.

If you ever feel like getting lost in a web sit try Agilent. It is a
truly massive site that their own people can not navigate.
