Summary

Thin surface mount IC package

An outline drawing of a Type I TSOP with 32 leads

Thin small outline package (TSOP) is a type of surface mount IC package. They are very low-profile (about 1 mm) and have tight lead spacing (as low as 0.5 mm).

They are frequently used for RAM or Flash memory ICs due to their high pin count and small volume. In some applications, they are being supplanted by ball grid array packages which can achieve even higher densities. The prime application for this technology is memory. SRAM, flash memory, FSRAM and EEPROM manufacturers find this package well suited to their end-use products. It answers the needs required by telecom, cellular, memory modules, PC cards (PCMCIA cards), wireless, netbooks and countless other product applications.

TSOP is the smallest leaded form factor for flash memory.

History

The TSOP package was developed to fit the reduced package height available in a PCMCIA PC Card. Texas Instruments. "Recent Advancements in Bus-Interface Packaging and Processing". 1997. p. 2

TSOPs are rectangular in shape and come in two varieties: Type I and Type II. Type I ICs have the pins on the shorter side and Type II have the pins on the longer side. The table below shows basic measurements for common TSOP packages. SiliconFarEast: "TSOP - Thin Small Outline Package"

HTSOP

HTSOP (Heatsink TSOP) is a variant of TSOP with an exposed pad on the bottom side. The pad is soldered to the PCB to transfer heat from the package to the PCB.
