The
Micro Small Outline Package,
or micro-SOP or MSOP,
is
a very small rectangular plastic package with gull wing leads protruding
out of its longer sides. The MSOP is
a miniaturized version of the
SSOP package, having a smaller footprint than the
latter.
MSOP lead counts range from 8 to
16. The typical MSOP body
width is nominally 3 mm while its body thickness typically
ranges from 0.85 mm to 1.1 mm. The MSOP lead pitch is typically either
0.65 mm or 0.50 mm.
