How to Create a SOIC
In this video, I’m going to walk you step-by-step through how to design an SOIC integrated circuit package using DEX. W
e’ll create a standard SOIC device with gull-wing leads, and then I’ll also show you how to switch that design into a no-lead SOIC package for a more compact footprint and improved thermal performance.
On top of that, we’ll explore how to add a central thermal pad and even optional thermal vias for heat transfer through the PCB.
