Espressif has some of the most thorough documentation in the entire industry.
TI (a major American IC manufacturer) regularly shits out half baked datasheets missing important information or incomplete explanations of equations. All the American vendors have terrible documentation.
- baby_souffle 1y ago> All the American vendors have terrible documentation And half the time you don’t even find out until you’ve created an account and signed an NDA! Nordic and espressif are some of the good ones, they’re showing up on a lot of my designs for this reason…
- estimator7292 1y agoI won't even work with vendors like that. It's just not worth the time and hassle when you can get an equivalent part for the same or lower price from another vendor that lets you decide if the part will work for you before entering into negotiations
- elcritch 1y agoWow and TI produces some of the better documentation, at least for their analog parts. Their chips seem much more closed. The GPU drivers for the 2 decade old Beagle Bones require an account and NDA IIRC.
