They make prototype small boards that are made to mount one SMT chip and
have legs that solder to the board to essentially turn it in to a DIP for
prototyping.  I think Jameco sells them and I am sure that DigiKey as them.
Sure someone with more time right now will help out with a link.

Subject: Surface Mount Prototyping Question


I have bought a chip (LM5041A - for switching power supplies). I plan on
using it in a current design but would like to breadboard it to work out
some of the kinks in my circuit design. Does anyone know of how I could
do this given the chip is surface mount technology and will not fit in
my breadboard. My idea was to solder some small wires to the pins and
then plug into the breadboard.
