Laws for Using Microchip Parts
« on: August 24, 2018, 12:16:01 am »
From irc.afternet.org #eevblog:

Quote
T3sl4co1l: first rule of microchip club, always check the errata
Okie2: The second rule of microchip club is that a microchip must always obey commands given to it except when it would conflict with the first rule.
Guesser: third law, for every microchip action there is an equal and opposite hairpulling reaction

[The last one is misattributed but I'll give credit this way. :D ]

Its 2018...why can't errata be merged/corrected in the datasheet. Hate trolling through errata.

Why don't you quit, then? I don't think any pay would be worth writing deliberately misleading errata. :-//

Unless you meant trawling, of course.  :horse:
