Alan, PDIP-8 is a Trough-Hole package, while SO-8 is SMT. It all depend on your soldering skills, but I would say BOTH are easy. Regards, Jean-Paul N1JPL

PDIP is through-hole.

It's for a TLC555 chip.
PDIP-8 or SOIC-8

OOPS!
What I meant to say was the IC is available in
SOIC-8, SOP-8, and TSSOP-14.
Is one package easier to solder than the other two?

SOIC-8 will be easier to solder due to the larger pin spacing.

As a newbie to SMD soldering myself, I find two things are really useful:
1. Google " footprint". So something like "SOIC-8 footprint" and you'll get the dimensions.
2. If you're more of a "visual" person, then just print it out. Every PCB design software has the ability to print out your PCB at 1:1. Just add the parts (no need to connect them to anything) and print it out (again, make sure it's 1:1).
Either one of these should allow you to figure out footprint is best for your personal needs

Thank you, Stefan and Aaron.
