#176983 - Only hunt DIL if this is a one-off hobby project Responding to: ???'s previous message |
If this is a one-off hobby project, then make do with whatever processor you can lay your hands on.
If this is a commercial project, you should ignore the socket and find a processor you like. Then get an adapter that converts a PLCC or SMD socket into a 40-pin DIL (or maybe 44-pin DIL) and hand-solder your prototype. For factory production, it's best to have a surface-mount component since it is cheaper. |
