selfsilent Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 I have an 8 pin chip (555 size) already soldered to a PCB and I want to read and write back to the chip. I have seen a sprung clip (like a clothes peg) that fits over the chip so the info can be read. I saw them ages ago and can't find them again.Any ideas what I am looking for and if the software automatically recognises the type of chip and what pin does what?cheers.

audioguru Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 There are many different kinds of ICs that have 8 pins. Most are opamps and dual opamps.The ICs don't "itentify" themselves so software can tell one from another.The clips are to allow you to connect a 'scope or a voltmeter to a working IC.
