Toshiba adds SOIC packages to CMOS logic ICs

A SOIC is a surface-mounted integrated circuit that occupies an area that is approximately 30 to 50 percent less than an equivalent dual in-line package (DIP) with a thickness that is 70 percent smaller.

This smaller size is well suited to applications that require a smaller PCB footprint. Toshiba’s ICs are available in industry standard packages of SOIC14, SOIC16, and SOIC20, and include a range of functionalities such as various gate types, flip flops, buffers, multiplexers, serial/parallel shift registers and more.
