Texas Instruments TSSOP-VSSOP-ADAPTE

Overview

TSSOP-VSSOP-ADAPTE from Texas Instruments is an evaluation module (EVM) adapter board enabling mechanical and electrical interface conversion between eight common IC packages-including SOT-23 (DCN/DDF), X2QFN (RUG), WSON (DSG/DSE), SC70 (DCK), X2SON (DPW), and SOT-5X3 (DRL)-and standard TSSOP or VSSOP 8-pin footprints used for dual- or single-channel operational amplifiers.

For engineers reviewing the TSSOP-VSSOP-ADAPTE datasheet, TSSOP-VSSOP-ADAPTE pinout, TSSOP-VSSOP-ADAPTE application, or TSSOP-VSSOP-ADAPTE equivalent, this EVM supports rapid op amp package evaluation without PCB redesign, hand-soldering or hot-air reflow compatibility, and modular separation via scored panels for individual adapter use.

Technical Context

The TSSOP-VSSOP-ADAPTE implements passive trace-based signal routing with no active components, supporting both dual-channel (e.g., TSSOP-8/VSSOP-8 op amp footprints) and single-channel configurations. It accommodates eight distinct adapter variants labeled A–H, each mapped to a specific package type, pin count, and TI package designator (e.g., RUG, DSG, DCK).

Signal integrity is preserved through strategic via placement near score lines-especially for critical rails like V+ and V−-and variant-specific shutdown (SD) handling: X2QFN options B and C pull SD low or high respectively, while WSON (DSG) supports both SD and non-SD variants in single/dual configurations.

FAQ

What is the TSSOP-VSSOP-ADAPTE used for?

The TSSOP-VSSOP-ADAPTE is an evaluation module that enables mechanical and electrical adaptation of eight common IC packages-including SOT-23, X2QFN, WSON, SC70, X2SON, and SOT-5X3-to standard TSSOP or VSSOP 8-pin op amp footprints. It allows engineers to evaluate different op amp packages on existing PCBs without layout changes, supporting rapid analog design iteration and validation.

Does the TSSOP-VSSOP-ADAPTE include populated components?

No, the TSSOP-VSSOP-ADAPTE ships depopulated: users must separately source and solder their target op amp devices onto the designated footprints. Each of the eight adapter sections (labeled A–H) provides a dedicated land pattern matching a specific package type and pin count, with no pre-mounted ICs or passive components.

Which op amp packages does the TSSOP-VSSOP-ADAPTE support?

The TSSOP-VSSOP-ADAPTE supports SOT-23 (DCN/DDF), X2QFN (RUG), WSON (DSG/DSE), SC70 (DCK), X2SON (DPW), and SOT-5X3 (DRL) packages. These cover pin counts from 5 to 10 and include both single-channel (e.g., SC70-DCK, X2SON-DPW) and dual-channel (e.g., SOT-23-DCN, WSON-DSG) configurations as defined in the TI User's Guide SBOU290.

How is the TSSOP-VSSOP-ADAPTE physically structured?

The TSSOP-VSSOP-ADAPTE is a scored PCB panel containing eight discrete adapter sections labeled A through H on the backside. Each section corresponds to a specific package-to-footprint mapping. Users separate individual adapters by gently flexing along the pre-defined score lines, then align and solder the selected adapter onto a host board's TSSOP or VSSOP footprint.

Does the TSSOP-VSSOP-ADAPTE require external power or configuration?

No, the TSSOP-VSSOP-ADAPTE is a passive interconnect board with no active components, power inputs, or configuration interfaces. It relies entirely on copper trace routing to map pin functions between the mounted device and the target footprint. Signal integrity is maintained via controlled trace geometry and strategic via placement-particularly for V+ and V− rails near score lines.
