Hans Heinz said:
What if one simply wants to use a DIP package. One should not simply use the DIP when the SMD has far better advantages over the DIP electrically and mechanically. Hans Heinz said:
(except that they are not the "latest thing"). It is not just the latest, the older package the DIP has more disadvantages. Hans Heinz said:
Not every thing in electronics is manufactured in the thousands. Not necessary, you can even make just in tens and still be cost effective and make a better engineered product with SMD. The only negative point about the SMD microcontroller is the device programming part, even that can be minimised by using the device manufacturer recommended programmer. John. |
