Cutting Your Troubleshooting Tinie
With The IC Pinout Guide
SUBJECT
I recently came across a great troubleshooting
aid. It's called the IC Pinout Guide by Globe
Engineering.
Each IC number lists the manufacturer, a de-
scription, packaging information, and where to
find the pin-out.
J
The IC Pinout Guide (IPG from now on) can save
you a third, or even hal.f the time it takes to look
up pin-outs in manufacturer data books. This
can save you much needed time and money
when you have one of the following problems:
The pin-out section lists the IC's in order to pin-
count and then sequence number, for example
20-5871 means a pin-count of 20 nd a se-
quential number of 5871. The packaging infor-
mation shows physical characteristics, pin ori-
entation, and includes surface mounted devices
1) Schematics with omitted pinouts
2) You're not sure of the function of an IC
3) You don't have any schematics
4) You need a manufacturer source for an IC
(SMD's).
The IPG has over 175,000 IC's with complete
pinouts. packaging and pin orientation. and
function description. It includes all kinds ofIC's:
The manufacturer directory lists 400 world wide
IC manufacturers with their logo's, manufac-
turer abbreviation. address, telephone, FAX
number, and their device numbering system.
This section is extremely helpful in itself.

EAsv To UsE
The IGP is really easy to use. It's broken down
into four parts: (1) the part number locator. (2)
the package and pin orientation, (3) pinouts,
and (4) manufacturer directory.
All the sections are color coded for quick ref er-
encing. The part number locator lists the I C's by
generic number (for example 7 4LS244) and by
manufacturer root (for example M74LS244P).
SOURCE INFO
IPG won't take long to pay for itself with all that
information packed into one book. It's also risk
free since it has a 30 day money back guarantee.
If you have bought any data books lately, you can
see $99.00 for all that information is a good
price. Call Global Engineering at 800/854-7179
for ordering information.
