MSOP-10

The MSOP-10 (also called USOP or µSOP) is a 10-pin miniature IC package at just 3 x 3mm with 0.5mm pitch. Roughly one-third the area of an SOIC-8, it enables significant board space savings for ICs that need more than 8 pins. Commonly houses precision ADCs (ADS1015), DACs (MCP4728), temperature sensors (TMP117), accelerometers, and multi-channel voltage supervisors. The tiny pitch requires paste stencils for reliable soldering.
