Any fundamental reason as why there are no odd number of Pins in a integrated circuit?

Thanks & Regards,

Who says there are not. Take a look at the SOT23-5 package which can house numerous useful circuits such as transistors, voltage regulators, and uP supervisory circuits.

Hello,

A lot of power chips are housed in a SIP package.
Think about motor driver and audio power chips.
Those CAN have an odd number of pins.

Wll, not in DIP IC's anyway

That might have to do with the words "Dual In Line". Two in-line rows of pins.
