Re: Breadboarding fine pitch chips and surface mount chips h
Hi,
What I do is, solder the surface mount chip to a DIL socket using fine gauge (28 to 32) wire. Plug DIL socket onto breadboard. Clean away flux at fine pitch SMD for stable test results. This need some skill in soldering and arranging lead wires if SMD has many pins.
On standard SOIC, may use a SOIC to DIL “converter” , example link :

If IC has more pins, prototype using PLCC, thru a PLCC to DIL converter.
