wikipedia says:
The d is lowercase, as it is the SI prefix deci-, and the B is
capitalized, as it is an abbreviation of a name-derived unit, the bel,
named for Alexander Graham Bell. Written out it becomes decibel.

With "Alexander Graham" in front, it certainly is. You seem to mention "db" but I see
"dB" everywhere in the datasheets.
Are "db" and "dB" the same. If not, can someone please explain the
difference, as "db" seems more important to people here.
It just depends on if you consider the Bell in question to be a proper noun!
