In Reply to: Thanks, but, all three packages are 8 pins version only ! I said, 9 pins !!!! posted by Jowe Wilson on October 3, 2005 at 22:57:21:

Hmmm...

I cannot see any reason to use a 9pin package! Never heard of it!

However, only 8 pins are used and they will be connected in the same sequence. You just need to identify which are the two power pins from the pcb traces to orientate it correctly in the nine holes.

If you look at the connections for the SIP and DIP you will see that they follow the same pattern. No suprises since these just connect to pads on the outside of the chip itself.
