This Product Selection Guide contains information to help select products in the Specialized category on DigiKey.com
Products in this family provide functions needed to interconnect an information source/sink to a sensor, transducer, actuator, transfer medium, or other such endpoint in a wide variety of esoteric or narrowly focused applications. Examples include automotive airbag drivers, body control and infotainment busses, adaptive cable equalizers, smart cards, and many others.
SelectionCharacteristics
Applications: Application is the type of equipment or environment the device will be used in, typically they are tested and rated by a third party to ensure certain minimum standards for the application they are intended for.
Interface: Indication of which interface(s) or protocol(s) are used by the device to communicate with other components in the system.
Voltage - Supply: Typically represented by a range, this indicates the low and high voltage limits which one can expect standard operation. Voltages outside this range may damage the device and other system components.
Package / Case: Indicates the type of protective case used on an electronic component to allow easy handling, installation, and protection. This selection was determined to be the closest industry standard applicable to the supplier device packaging. Typically it is best to check the actual dimensions from the datasheet rather than depend on this terminology when designing your circuit.
Supplier Device Package: This is what the manufacturer calls the package of this device. They are manufacturer specific. It is typically best to use the actual dimensions from the datasheets rather than to go by this terminology when designing your circuit.
Mounting Type: Indicates how the device is attached.
