#114451 - family documents
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Erik Malund said:
most manufacturers have "family" documents in addition to the specific documents/datasheets and it is your responsibility to read them as well. That makes life so much easier, if you use another chip from the same family, you do not have to check 100 pages for "subtle" differences.

Erik, while I agree, the life is unfortunately more complicated than this.
This philosophy would work, if the manufacturer would take the pain to collect all relevant information and document and present it in a comprehensive form.
For example, here, browsing to the AT89C51ED2 "folder", the document in question is there, but, honestly, would you expect a description/diagram of ISP circuit under the "Hardware Interface Connection Examples for C51 MCU" codename?
