INA2180: INA2180 Footprint Ambiguity

Andrew Charnley

Part Number: INA2180

Hi,

I'm close to cutting a PCB which uses your INA2180 product.

The product description describes it as a;

8VSSOP: 15 mm2: 4.9 x 3(VSSOP) 

The datasheet indicates it is a 3x3 with 0.65mm pitch.

Either way, none of these are VSSOP which has a 0.50mm pitch and different dimensions;

Housings_SSOP:VSSOP-8_2.3x2mm_Pitch0.5mm

However:

Housings_SSOP:TSSOP-8_3x3mm_Pitch0.65mm

Is a perfect match.

Can you confirm the footprint is actually TSSOP?

Regards,

Andrew

    Hello Andrew,

    The "8VSSOP: 15 mm2: 4.9 x 3(VSSOP)" description listed on the INA2180 product page seems to include overall area including the length added by the pins. The package body is 3.1mm x 3.1mm, which is defintely VSSOP package dimensions, but I am not sure on the pitch. It does seems that VSSOP-8 pitch is 0.5mm and the INA2180 shows a 0.65mm pitch in the datasheet.

    I will check with team, but we will have a confirmation at the latest on Monday the 27th of November after the end of the holidays.

    Thanks Peter. There are various chip sizes but to my knowledge it fits the definition of the 3x3 TSSOP 0.65mm. I can't find a 3.1mm VSSOP footprint.

    Andrew,

    I apologize for the late reply, but I can say a couple things.

    We designate our device orderable part names (e.g., INA2180A1IDGKR) with a letter code ('DGK') that specifies the device's package (VSSOP). For most, if not all, of our 8-pin DGK parts we spec our pitch at 0.65mm. This can be seen with the following mechanical drawing from our website:

    At the bottom Note E says that this part satisfies the JEDEC MO-187 spec, specifically variation AA. You can register for the latest version (issue F from September 2010) of JEDEC MO-187 and see that for Variation AA, the pitch (symbol 'e') equals 0.65mm.

    Overall, you want to abide by the mechanical drawing's layout for your design. I hope this helps.

    Sincerely,

    Peter Iliya
