<div style="font-size: 10pt; "><p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;">I much prefer 1x4 myself, 2-layer boards and TH resistors give you options to step over traces. I always use smt caps for ps decoupling. Push them completely under the ic.</p><p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;">Regards,</p><p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;">Jarno.</p></div><div style="font-size: 10pt; "><div id="LGEmailHeader" dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;"><p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;"><br></p><p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;">------ Origineel bericht------</p><p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;"><b>Van: </b>Justin Owen <juzowen@gmail.com></juzowen@gmail.com></p><p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;"><b>Datum: </b>do, 29 okt. 2015 18:04</p><p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;"><b>Naar: </b>SDIY List;</p><p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;"><b>CC: </b></p><p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;"><b>Onderwerp:</b>[sdiy] PCB op-amp layout - 2x2 or 1x4</p><p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;"><br></p></div><pre>I guess there's probably not a hard right or wrong answer to this - but, when laying out a tight PCB with a lot of op-amps - do you choose 2x or 4x op-amp packages?The 2x potentially gives you more placement flexibility - but increases overall parts count, the 4x decreases the part count but potentially leaves less room for routing traces between amps......thoughts on this from experience?Thanks,- Justin_______________________________________________Synth-diy mailing<a href="mailto: listSynth-diy@dropmix.xs4all.nlhttp"> listSynth-diy@dropmix.xs4all.nlhttp</a>://<a href="http://dropmix.xs4all.nl/mailman/listinfo/synth-diy">dropmix.xs4all.nl/mailman/listinfo/synth-diy</a></pre></div>
