Talk:Howto identify chip packages/old

It would be great if there was some reference to size added to the article. To scale pictures would be awesome too. In case anybody ever reads this who has the means and motivation I just thought that I'd state the obvious.
 * that is a very good point, it may take some time by i will try to add dimentions ZyMOS 03:33, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

How about DLQFP? I see LQFP, does the D warrant another entry on the list? I don't know what it means, but it is listed as a package type of the ADSP-BF532 dsp microcontroller. Thanks, Taylor.

authoritative source
There should be a link here to an authoritative source for packages and their names. I think JEDEC could be the right standards body for this.--194.237.142.10 11:05, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

Same package, different names
Often a package type has several names, depending on the manufacturer. How should that be handled? --194.237.142.10 11:05, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
 * not exactly sure, any ideas, i see there are a couple on the page already. maybe something like this
 * MGA/SMGA            Magic grid array/supper magical grid array
 * what do you thinkZyMOS 16:33, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

rename
Please rename the article from
 * "Howto indentify integrated circuit(IC) chip packages" to something more like
 * "Howto identify integrated circuit chip packages".

Thank you. --76.209.28.72 18:33, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
