dlkosmas Posted November 28, 2005 Report Posted November 28, 2005 I would like to know if i can make a ic in tssop (or other package) to fit in a breadboard,that only accepts dip packages.Is there any kind of adaptor in the stores that i can purchase or should i try and make my own? Quote
MP Posted November 29, 2005 Report Posted November 29, 2005 They are not cheap, but you can get them:http://www.soundlabsgroup.com.au/browndog/browndog_narrow_wide_so28_tssop_pindip.htmhttp://www.accutekmicro.com/product_detail.cfm?Product=DIP%20Adaptershttp://www.logicalsys.com/MP Quote
dlkosmas Posted November 29, 2005 Author Report Posted November 29, 2005 Thank you MP,i found what i was looking for but they are very expensive.Isn't there any way to use a TSSOP package in my breadboard test circuit besides using a converter? Quote
MP Posted November 30, 2005 Report Posted November 30, 2005 You must have pins to plug into the breadboard. Another route is to make an adapter yourself. Just use a board layout program like Eagle and terminate all of the pins to in-line pins which will allow you to plug into your breadboard. This is how I made a PLCC to 40 pin DIP adapter for my programmer.MP Quote
RDL2004 Posted December 2, 2005 Report Posted December 2, 2005 There is a product called "Surfboards" which are very small pc boards with pins along one edge and various multi purpose patterns etched on them. You solder your surface mount component to the Surfboard, then you can plug it into any standard type breadboard. These are not very expensive. Most larger electronic suppliers should have them for sale. Maybe one of these would work for you. Quote
gogo2520 Posted December 3, 2005 Report Posted December 3, 2005 I would like to learn more about those Surfboards if anyone has used them. All the stuff I have seen cost to much to play with. gogo Quote

audioguru Posted December 6, 2005 Report Posted December 6, 2005 I like the name for this tiny surface-mount package "ITTYBITTY". ;D Quote
RDL2004 Posted December 6, 2005 Report Posted December 6, 2005 SOP = Squint Only Periodically TSSOP = Terribly Small, Soldering Operations Precarious QFN = Quite Frustrating Now TQFP = Terrible Quandary Finding Pins BGA = Better Get Aspirin SOT –23 = Somewhere On Table, 2 maybe 3 of them :) Quote
audioguru Posted December 6, 2005 Report Posted December 6, 2005 How about the tiny ones with little pimples called "bumps" on their bottom?How in the world would you solder them? Quote
RDL2004 Posted December 7, 2005 Report Posted December 7, 2005 I'm pretty sure those are the BGA type (Ball Grid Array), I don't see any way you could solder those by hand (at least not realistically).Reflow solder would be my guess as to how those must be soldered (though I am not an expert on that method or BGA chips).

rybitski Posted June 27, 2006 Report Posted June 27, 2006 From my under standing the boards are heated up enough to melt the solder and the chips are placed on them. Quote
indulis Posted June 27, 2006 Report Posted June 27, 2006 One guy here where I work does some "moonlighting" and has used, with some success, a small toaster oven to reflow solder paste on SMT PCB's. The only trick is to find the right temperature profile. Quote
Franco Posted June 22, 2019 Report Posted June 22, 2019 I have purchased this Tssop/Msop adapter to copy or programming some devices, and this works fine. http://www.winwinmascot.com/sale-8784423-soic8-tssop8-pogo-pin-adapter-for-eeprom-93cxx-25cxx-24cxx-ar32-vvdi-2-tools-programmer.html Quote
