Revised NXP site

Jun 23, 2008 23 Replies

Ok, guys, we had a thread about NXP's site a while ago. Long story short I wrote to them and, surprise, they engaged in a lively back-and-forth improvement session and really listened. They changed a lot of stuff, got rid of fluff and while not perfect yet I think the NXP site has improved quite a bit. Heck, now you can even use it with Java Script turned off (gets rid of the nag screen). And no, I am not paid by them, just got involved because I didn't want to see a company that was good to me go down the tubes.

Thanks, Fred.

Anything is an improvement.

They were sending customers away, which is not what a web site is designed for. Glad someone there actually understands the principle.

Thanks for getting involved.

Cheers Don...

Looks better than it used to ! But I don't like the floaty bookmark tab on the right hand side. Its distracting !

Methinks it be good. Better layout to get down to a specific datasheet when I knoweth the part number (base datasheet no longer hidden amongst a gazillion appnotes) and easy to drill down for additional info.

Works with Opera!

Better. I use Flashblock, and it doesn't even try anything tricky. The structure is still pretty weird, though.

What is the "switch to classic mode/switch to liquid mode" thing at the bottom?

And "contact" should just provide email addresses, not the dumb form to fill out.

At least they still offer the wideband transistors!

PDFs are now blisteringly fast, and actually download. :) Thx.

Allows you to switch back to the old Philips-style site. At the end of this improvement process they'll hopefully ditch that.

I've told them :-)

Yes. What concerned me is that only two parts show up under analog. Probably ended up in the wrong places but it'll be corrected.

Thankfully, now that JS is no longer required, I can revert to a very fast backup browser

that ignores all the crud (eg Google Analytics, and taggingserver.netmining).

BROWSER UNSUPPORTED (Opera 8.51)

SO another giant leap backwards for NXP.

Have these guys never heard of html ?

Holy schnockers, Opera 8.51? Why not upgrade to the current (9.5) release?

It worked just fine for me using opera 8.52 yesterday ! I do hope they haven't broken it again !

Bloatware (damn them).

However that doesn't really address my comment. What's wrong with a standards compliant site ?

Sure is, I'll let them know.

Works after a fashion with 8.52 ! Frames are shown on top of one another though and the list shown when you click on a link gets over written. I'm going to update to Opera 9.27 on this machine. The old version was a hangover from a Linux upgrade.

It is still way too cookie dependant. I generally do not tolerate cookies.
