[Ranjita]

whats the difference bet SOIC-8 and SO-8 Package?Can I use SO-8 Package in place of SOIC-8 packege in layout ? :shock: :?: [/b]

in my experience, so-8 is just shorthand for soic-8

but it would be best to compare your pad layout, whichever you decide on to the pad layout the manuf. provides.
