errors in datasheets

[DG]

Is there any way to report a typo in a datasheet to the author? This
particular datasheet is from TI/Burrbrown, and there is no author listed
anywhere on the datasheet... I'm surprised at a company like TI there
is no system in place for this.

I tend to send a mail to the technical support.
Be sure to state the part and the document you're
refering to.

While you're at it, why not post details here? One of us might be
using the part (or perhaps use it later and do a google groups search
for discussion on it), and having the error made public may save one
or more people some time and frustration.
I've got lots of TI/BurrBrown data sheet .pdf's on my hard drive,
and I'm wondering if I have the file in which the poster found the
error.
There are surely many data sheets with errors (I had the idea of
writing a whole book on a certain embedded DSP), and it would be great
for us "users" of these parts to have as much info as possible on data
sheet errors, bugs in the chips themselves, etc.
