2.4.6 The PCB as a SOIC-14 or TSSOP-14 to DIP-14 Socket Converter
There may be occasions when it is desirable to convert the footprint of the device to
that of a DIP package. This allows the device to be installed into an existing DIP socket.
Two 1x7 row pins need to be installed into the PCB’s DIP footprint when the device is
installed into the appropriate package footprint.
This allows the PCB to convert the SOIC-14 or TSSOP-14 footprints to a 300-mil
DIP-14 footprint.
