I'm not trying to connect an in-circuit emulator to a <br>lqfp-100 chip, just a logic analyzer. Being a mechanical doofus of the <br>highest order, it seems completely reasonable to me to be able to stick <br>something on the top of the package, arrange a few spring-loaded but <br>very, very precise little bendy things and get on with it. They might <br>need some plastic "accessories" to arrange for sets of them to sit on <br>the chip leads while maintaining the proper spacing. Hmm, OK, maybe the <br>whole thing would sit on the chip with a square surround that provides <br>itty-bitty slot openings over each lead and the adjustable thingum <br>swings around and sits on that.<br>-Pete<br><br>On 04/30/2015 04:28 PM, Pete Soper via TriEmbed wrote:<br>> It's been a long, long time since I needed to stick in-circuit <br>> emulator "chip clips" onto microprocessors, but I'm wondering if <br>> cleverness has kept pace with modern package design?
