Xpert Semiconductors
The Xpert Semiconductor database puts critical electronic component
information and datasheets at your fingertips, making parts research,
comparison, and selection a snap. This database is used by design
engineering, component engineering, support engineering, EDA librarians,
manufacturing, and purchasing/procurement to:
- Find components meeting specific requirements
- Identify alternate parts and replacements for selected components
- View manufacturers' datasheets for package, pinout, timing
and modeling information, test data, and other information that
can influence product design, producibility, maintainability,
and reliability
- Support quality management efforts by limiting searches to
qualified suppliers
- Verify complete purchased part numbers
Data Content
The Xpert Semiconductor database is the world's largest collection
of information on electronic components, providing desktop access
to over 1.5 million devices from more than 900 manufacturers worldwide,
along with direct links to 940,000 pages of manufacturers' datasheets
and Mil Spec/QPL documents.
Functionality
The entire Xpert Semiconductor database can be searched very quickly,
using either simple queries or comprehensive search criteria based
on physical and performance parameters. Intuitive menus and prompts
lead you through even the most challenging searches. In minutes
you can be an expert at identifying alternate sources, and pin-for-pin
replacements.
Highlights
Users can locate components by searching on any one or more of
the following items:
- Supplier part number
- Generic part number
- Function
- Device characteristics
- Manufacturer
- Status
Users may enter values for any of these items, using single or
multiple-character wildcards, or select one or more values from
a list of possible values. Additional features include:
- Spreadsheet display. View parts resulting from a search in
a spreadsheet-like grid, allowing easy comparison of similar parts
and manipulation of the data display.
- Upgrades/downgrades/replacements. Select a part and request
a side-by-side
- display of pin-for-pin replacements, upgrades or downgrades.
Alternate parts are displayed along with the original, making
differences in electrical characteristics easy to determine.
- Printing. Print lists of parts and part attributes for off-line
reference.
- Export. Export part information for manipulation and analysis
in other
- desktop applications.
- Access to datasheets. Select a part and click to display the
datasheet.
Viewing Images
Datasheets, application notes, user manuals, selector guides,
and other manufacturer-provided information are provided in a
raster-scanned image format. The supplied image viewer allows
you to:
- Pan, zoom, and rotate images to view exactly what you need.
- Quickly navigate from page to page, or jump to a specific
page in the document.
- Temporarily magnify hard-to-read portions of a page without
zooming in and out.
- Print a portion of a page, a full page, or a range of pages.
- Export a portion of a page, a full page, or a range of pages
to a TIFF file, for later incorporation into a specification or
other documentation.
Updating
The Xpert Semiconductor database is updated every 60 days.
Requirements
- Congruity(TM); Technical Information System
