"The Manufacturer's Datasheet" 

By Raj Desai

:(

Before prototyping and designing a circuit...

"A good electronics engineer will find/read a component's manufacture's datasheet... 

 A great electronics engineer will find/read a component's manufacture's datasheet with skepticism.. 

AND I will find/read the manufacture's datasheet and

 actually test the component 

before believing anything i saw in the datasheet 

after 

I called the manufacturer's tech help line...

and see what they say.."

(you wouldn't believe the things the IC manufacture's say about their own datasheet...)

"oh.. that datasheet...well it's wrong..."

(sad face):

Case In Point:

Every electronics engineer can relate to this story : 

STM32 RF/BLE SPI Protocol -

 Story of The Missing Resistor

Never assume anything about datasheets or chip manufacturers...
