**Quote style:
To avoid thousands of quote marks and colliding with quote marks in
the text, I have used a modified quotation style. Anything in a
section titled "Info:" or "Features:" is a quote from a datasheet
unless otherwised stated in that section. In these sections anything
inside [] is an annotation and not part of the datasheet unless
otherwise stated in that section.
Under any other section, the text is my own unless indicated with "".
Also this document does not contain the entire datasheet for each
chip, usually only the first few pages are included to give an outline
of it. Some datasheets are 100s of pages other are only 1.
