Is the A3972 available in a surface-mount package?
This device is currently available only in a 24-lead plastic “batwing” DIP package. However, the A3992, the next generation version of the A3972, will be released in January 2006. That will be available in a 24-pin TSSOP package with exposed thermal pad. In addition, the A3973, a pin-compatible 30 V version of the A3972, is available in an SOIC package.
