Do semiconductor datasheets suck?

mA per amplifier, another trap when copying over to design documentation.

Every vendor has an effective feedback path. Inform one of their sales people that an error in a datasheet is affecting your decision to place a large order, and you'll be amazed how quickly it gets fixed. :)

TI does: the footer of every datasheet PDF has a “submit document feedback” link, and TI has responded promptly when I’ve used it. There’s a link on the product web pages, too, which includes the parametric data.
Analog Devices is the same, the link in the footer is simply titled “document feedback”.
Infineon lists a feedback email address on the last page of its datasheets.

Yes, they have email addresses. I like that.
