[edit] Form Factors

[edit] DIP, PDIP, SPDIP

DIP stands for "Dual Inline Package", and is what common Integrated Circuits come as. The "P" Prefix means the chip will be plastic, the "S" prefix means it will be thinner then a normal DIP, or it will have pins that are closer together. Occasionally packages will be found called "CERDIP", where the "CER" prefix means that the package is made of ceramic, and is therefore more resistant to heat. CERDIPs are more expensive then PDIPs, but are less susceptable to heat and static charge.

[edit] SSOP

SSOP stands for Small Shrink Outline Package.

[edit] SOIC

SOIC stands for Small Outline Integrated Circuit.

Mouser Electronics, Digikey, Futurlec, Jameco, SparkFun

[edit] Manufacturers

Out of many, many, different manufacturers around the world, some of the most common are:

• Texas Instruments (home to the first integrated circuit)
• Fairchild Semiconductor
• Maxim Semiconductor
• Xilinx
• ON Semi
• Mitsubishi
