It's the MPU-9150 by InvenSense which is a 9 DOF gyro, accelerometer, and magnetometer. It is 4 mm wide, 4 mm long, and 1 mm in height. There are no actual pins that stick out anyway. The "pins" are under the package around the outer perimeter if you look at the bottom of the IC with 6 equally spaced "pins" on each of the 4 sides totaling 24.
The reason I ask is I am wondering if there is some sort of socket I can order that will make the chip fit into a breadboard or really any type of socket that will make it a little bigger and easier to work with. There is no way I could solder wire directly to the chip I don't think. The damn thing is way too small.
Does anyone have any idea about how I could do this? Find a socket? or solder it? or find or design a breakout board and order it then re-flow it on it?
I have attached a picture of the package dimensions. The data sheet doesn't seem to give a specific name for this package but I think it may be called LGA-24? Am I right?
