There are two options available when using single op amps in SOIC-8 packages (150 
mil wide); soldering onto the V

DD

/2 Filter Section and/or Active Filter Section board(s) 

or soldering it onto a separate board which is connected to the DIP-8 socket.

Figure 4-3 shows a SOIC-8 op amp soldered onto the Active Filter Section Board.

Figure 4-4 shows a SOIC-8 op amp and a DIP-8 socket, soldered onto the 8-Pin 
SOIC/MSOP/TSSOP/DIP Evaluation Board available from Microchip Technology Inc 
(order # SOIC8EV). The two interconnect strips on the bottom are Samtec part # 
BBS-14-T-B or equivalent and are soldered into the through holes for the DIP-8 socket. 
Figure 4-5 shows this board plugged into the Active Filter Section Board.

Note: The DIP-8 socket must be empty; only one op amp can be used at a time.

Note: Insert the interconnect strips into the DIP-8 socket on the V

DD

/2 Filter Sec-

tion or Active Filter Section board. Place the SOIC8EV board on the top of 
the interconnect strips with the same pin orientation. Now solder the strips 
to the top board; this procedure ensures correct alignment of the strips. Clip 
the pins flush with the top surface of the SOIC8EV board, then solder the 
SOIC-8 op amp on the top.
