SN74LVC1G07: SOT-23 support pin

Part Number: SN74LVC1G07


Tool/software:

Team,

For SN74LVC1G07DBVR, customer would like to understand more details regarding SOT-23 package outline mentioned in the page.28 of the datasheet.
1) Does ever SN74LVC1G07DBVR unit contain this support pin or not?
2) What exactly is the functions for this support pin?

  • 1. Both are possible. Different assembly sites might use different lead frames.

    2. It holds the lead frame during manufacturing. But I suspect it's not necessary, and it's only there because the same lead frame is used for 5-pin and 6-pin devices.
