Hello folks,

I was wondering If there is a way to print IC pinouts on normal A4 papers then cut them manually into the IC size. Is there any software having a library of printable IC pinouts? Any simple and practical way to do so? Ideas?

 

Hello,

Do you mean something like these?



You can find those in the datasheets/databooks.

The shown image come from the TI databook wic can be found as scyd013.pdf on the internet.

I do not know any software capable of this.

Google IC pinout labels.

 

Will the printout be used just for labelling an IC, or does it have to be the exact size of the IC (e.g. for marking out a pcb for drilling) ?

 

Thanks guys. Actually I would like to print the pinouts e.g. IC555 timer pinouts which are VCC TRH TRI GND RST etc etc .. and not the number of op-amps or gates etc.. the label must fit on the IC as I will glue it so when I breadboard I wouldn't have to refer back to the datasheet

 

Hello,

As I said, take the databooks from the internet and copy-out the pinouts.
Here is an other example wich I took from a datasheet:



Almost all datasheets and books will have these kind of images in them.
A good resource for older databooks is the internet archive:

Having grabbed an image it's then just a matter of re-sizing it with a graphics editor, or with the printer.

 

Reducing those to the actual size of the IC package may make them unreadable.

Most would put pinout/function information on the schematic:

That's what you're going to use to wire and/or troubleshoot the circuit.
