references for any ic i am looking for a text reference that will include pinouts description and functionality for just about any ic made does such a text exist are there docs on the internet that reference ic s it would be a great idea if each major ic manufacturer made available to the public an anonymous ftp site with all it s data books in the form of text files ala rfc style this would save time and money for the ic manufacturer since a text file costs nothing to send around the world via internet and since most users of ic s are found in the internet anyway are there any books available for purchase that reference as many as possible or am i going to be stuck obtaining a zillion databooks from the manufacturers those little phonebook type books that are obsoleted every couple years
