recommend the following book: Hastings, A. (2001). The Art of Analog Layout. Upper Saddle River, NJ: Prentice-Hall, Inc. ISBN 0-13-087061-7 This book is invaluable for IC layout. I'm certain that it would also be highly valuable for the design of analog IC circuits. Regards, Mark Richards

Norb, By the way, when I suggested 0805 footprints, I was not taking in to consideration voltage or power requirements. Be sure that ANY component and footprint is acceptable for the voltage and power before designing it in to your PCB. Regards, -- Mark Richards ON Semiconductor 5005 E

Re: [PEDA] Surface Mount Boards

2001-07-31 Thread Mark Richards
Hi Norb, 0805 is still (marginally) the most common and least expensive, with 0603 a close second. However, it's also much easier to hand-solder and rework 0805-sized parts when compared to 0603 or smaller components. Hope this helps. Cheers, -- Mark Richards ON Semiconductor 5005 E. McD
