If I have something like this :

http://uk.farnell.com/texas-instrum...Categories&searchView=table&iscrfnonsku=false -- Which I want to hookup to my breadboard...I assume I need something like this : http://uk.farnell.com/roth-elektron...p-28-0-65mm/dp/1426166?MER=bn_para_1TP_Echo_3

I cannot find a DIP package for the PCM1804. If I went for the SMD adapter, how do I actually connect the 1mm breakouts to the breadboard? Is there a special form of pin I would use? Or would a standard cable do fine?

Extra points for anybody capable of finding a PCM1804 in DIP Package so I don't have to do the adapter myself!

 

hi Andrew,
Problem with that is the double row of pins.
Look at these links.

Hi Eric - this looks far better. Is there any UK specific suppliers of this kind of board (i am not sure of its high level name) - ideally I would want to order from Farnell.

 

Many suppliers cheap on ebay.

Hi A.
As Max has suggested eBay.

Update:
Your IC is: Case Style: SSOP
If you ask for a 28 ssop to dip , most suppliers should know what you require.

This looks good - I suppose I am looking for a 28 pin version of one of these soic-to-dip then! Ebay was something I was hoping to avoid in favor of a more favourable retailer.

These are from digikey - you can have them tomorrow (or Monday if you don't want to pay the overnight freight).

Also, don't forget to order the male header pins.

 

Not sure if Digikey supply the UK, but to Canada ALL shipments are overnight fixed cost of $8.00.
Futurlec have them.

picture is generic but datasheet shows all combinations.

 

I used to purchase off of Newark, now Farnell and found them fairly expensive and costly P/P.
Futurlec supply internationally I believe and are reasonable in price.

That is exactly what I was looking for! How on earth did you find this?

Search "SOIC adapter" on the Farnell or Digikey website

 

Bit of a difference in price! Futurlec over Farnell.
http://futurlec.com/SMD_Adapters.shtml you just have to buy the male headers separate, but still cheaper.

I believe all the Digikey links are to SOIC-28 to DIP adapters. I believe SSOP-28 is a much smaller footprint and lead spacing.
I did not verify this but wanted to make sure the OP checks before ordering and possible disappointment.
