I pryed a 68 pin PLCC part out of a board here in the office and checked it over. If the JTAG stuff really works for programming the CPLD then maybe scrap the socket and solder chip to pads? -----Original Message----- From: Josh Koffman Sent: Nov 17, 2003 12:52 AM To: PICLIST@MITVMA.MIT.EDU Subject: Re: [PIC]: PIC Based Logic Analyzer I would try to avoid them. I've looked at them in the past, and it just seems like it would be way too hard to get to the leads without burning the plastic bits. FWIW I also do all my SMT by hand soldering.
