FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
Q1: Can this package be supplied with a window for UV EPROMs?
A1: Yes, the CDIP-40 is famously available with a quartz window integrated into the lid. This allows the die of a UV-erasable EPROM to be exposed to ultraviolet light for reprogramming. Please specify this requirement when ordering.
Q2: What is the purpose of the notch on one end of the package?
A2: The notch is a standard feature on DIP packages that serves as the primary indicator for Pin 1. Pin 1 is located to the left of the notch when viewing the package from the top. This ensures the IC is correctly oriented during insertion into a socket or PCB.
