SOIC and Friends Big Microchip Adventures
SOIC and Friends are an engaging group of characters whose relatable stories draw kids in to a whole new world beneath the plastic and glass of their household electronics. In this big, tiny world, adorable microchips solve the big problems of their everyday life – just like real kids. Through fun adventures with friends, kids are learning along the way!
Meet SOIC and his friends!
SOIC
(sō’ĭk)
Small Outline Integrated
Circuit. An average guy,
hard worker. No rocket
science here, but he’s
no dummy either. SOIC’s
the one who started it
all.
SOT
(sŏt)
Small Outline
Transistor. Sweet girl,
very simple – or
“uncomplicated,” she
says. SOIC has 1000’s of
transistors, where SOT
has just one. But she
knows what she’s worth.
TSSOP
(tē’sŏp)
Thin Shrink Small
Outline Package. TSSOP
is a USB interface chip
on the “front lines” of
the system. She
communicates directly
with the public, and in
her time she has seen it
all. “Keep Calm, (Reset)
and Carry On” is her
motto!
MSOP
(ĕm’sŏp)
She’s a plucky kid. As
many transistors as
SOIC, but with less
brawn. She can do a lot
of measuring and
mathematics, but not
much heavy lifting. She
makes decisions that
affect the entire
system, and she’s very
proud of her
independence.
DPAK
(dē’păk)
A ‘Decawatt’ Package who
happened to be born on a
small line in central
Asia. DPAK is a real
bruiser who can carry
the power of the entire
system. But he hasn’t
got any more transistors
in him than SOT, and he
needs a lot of direction
in his life.
A big world of adventure is waiting!
SOIC & SOT – The Microchips
Two microchips named SOIC & SOT go on a journey through an electronics assembly line. From shipping boxes, through the soldering process, assembly and test, the chips learn about the world outside, and what they were born to do!
SOIC y SOT – Los Microchips
Hay un mundo electrónico de maravillas bajo el plástico y el cristal de nuestras computadoras portátiles y teléfonos inteligentes.¡Únete a dos adorables microchips en su valiente aventura a través de ese mundo y descubre para qué nacieron!
MSOP and DPAK – One Hot Day
MSOP is a power supply monitor chip in a laptop who manages “DEEPAK,” a powerful regulator chip. It’s a hot day “doing homework,” but will the mean old CPU give the microchips a break to cool off?

TSSOP Gets Zapped – With Static Electricity
Static electricity can be annoying to humans, but it’s deadly as lightning to microchips! TSSOP’s job is to read picture files from USB drives in a photo kiosk, and she sees lots of danger out there…but can she recover from this jolt?
