Show HN: An open source schema definition for datasheets

Category: other

Tags: schema, datasheet, hardware, json, electronics

Score: 5.7/10 (Innovation: 6, Technical: 5, Documentation: 6, Utility: 6)

This project proposes a standardized JSON schema for representing electronic component datasheet parameters in a machine-readable format. It captures conditional measurements (e.g., dropout voltage varying with load current) along with source page references, enabling structured extraction and comparison. It is interesting as a foundational data model for automating hardware design and component selection.

Target audience: hardware engineers, EDA tool developers, electronics designers
