GOPHER Part Number Search Engine has some very powerful features which a user should learn in order to fully utilize all the capabilities available.

If you want to look up the parameters for a particular MCU, simply enter the MCU part number in the part number box and click on the green SEARCH button. Note that any portion of the part number (e.g. first, middle, last, any portion) can be entered, allowing for as much specificity as you choose.

If you want to compare a series of common MCU part numbers, enter any portion of an MCU part number, and all MCUs that contain a match to your entry will display, line by line, the parameters related to each part number.

To illustrate the above two points, if you have the following fictious part number ABC3497-XRFUL, you can look up the parameters for that exact part number only. However if you want to look up all parts that begin with ABC3497, enter just that portion and all parts that begin with ABC3497 will display, one per line as separate MCUs, each with the corresponding parameters. You can also enter a middle segment of the part number such as C3497-X and all parts that contain this sequence will display in the same manner.

Best of all the FLAGSHIP FEATURE: This feature is an extremely powerful and useful competitive analysis tool with search results that can be achieved quickly and efficiently. If you want to compare two or more companies part(s), simply enter all the companys' complete or abbreviated pat number(s) of interest separated by commas. Click SEARCH and all your selected parts will display alphabetically by company and MCU part number, each followed by the corresponding parametric data. For example, if you want to compare Microchip part numbers beginning with ATSAM4S, with NXP part numbers beginning with LPC431, you'll enter the following sequence in the part number field: ATSAM4S,LPC431 and then click on the SEARCH button and all parts beginning with these partial part numbers will display.
