On a motor-driver IC, typically the power, ground, and output pins are attached to the copper areas. Figure 8 shows a typical PCB layout for a “flip-chip on leadframe” SOIC package.

Malvern, Pa. — Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. has upgraded all of its optocouplers in the SOIC-8 package to offer 4000-V isolation voltages and 6000-V rated impulse voltages (VIOTM). The devices include ...

[Pyra] was looking for a way to reprogram some ATtiny13 microcontrollers in a SOIC package. He’s re-engineering some consumer electronics so adding an ISP header to the design isn’t an option.

He designed a set of small SMD adaptor boards for various SOIC, SOT23, and DPAC patterns ... people bypassing the schematics when designing a PCB. But we can agree that [Travis] has found a ...
