SOIC

Small Outline Integrated Circuit
Small rectangular chip with gull-wing leads on two sides. The W25Q128 is SOIC-8.

How it looks

Drawing: this is not on CORE3588, so it is drawn
1.27 mm between legsabout 5 mm long (8 pins)side: legs bent like a gull's wings
A SOIC-8 from above and from the side. The W25Q128 flash memory on the Stamp board is one of these.
Real image: CORE3588, a close cousin (TSSOP), not a SOIC
11 mm
Close cousin on CORE3588: the level shifter U10.

How it works

each leg lands on a pad you can see and reach with an ironpin 1 sits by the dot; count around the chip

Where it fits

Bigger and friendlier than a QFN, smaller than a DIP. Its tiny relative is SOT-23. All of these are SMD / SMT parts.
