Package and rework — 16-SOIC is bench-friendly
The 16-SOIC (3.90 mm width) is a standard footprint — easy to hand-solder or rework with hot air. The body stays cool enough under a hot-air station that adjacent passives won't shift.
Lifecycle — active production, no LTB concern
RoHS3 compliant. For new designs or ongoing production, this part is a straightforward BOM line to source.
