Hi.

I got some of these, and I am not sure which of the pins that are pin one/I can't see the marker. Anyone?

 

Noice that the left top edge is bevelled and the right edge is 90-degrees. Now look at page 4 of the datasheet and you will see the extra line on the side that is bevelled to show that pin 1 is the top left in your photo. (PIN #1 IS NEAR THE RED "A" on your photo).

 

I will also say that A is pin 1 here

 

really no question when you read the datasheet

 

Thanks guys. I understand now.

Um.... Feeling a bit guilty about asking stupid questions here now, as I can clearly see it in the datasheet. If I only had paid attention to what I read....

 

Sometimes they aren't exactly clear on datasheet drawings what a line means (bevel, step, etc).

It's an easy mistake, especially when you've read the datasheet a lot for using the other package types, one tends to skim over stuff they've looked at a lot.

 

Yes, I tend to get blind, starring at the illustrations.

 

Hello,

Here is the pin-out picture from the datasheet:

I marked the slanted side.

I got it working last night. Just had to double check before I soldered it in place.

Thanks.
