TLC5916 Footprint

Layout Footprints
1

Hello,

does anyone know where I can find TLC5916 Footprint?
I have found some online but seems they are not made for KiCad

I hereby certify that I am not simply asking someone else to design a footprint for me.

This is an auto-generated message that is in place on the “footprints” section of the KiCad.info forum. If I remove it and ask for a footprint to be designed anyway, I understand that I will be subject to forum members telling me to go design my own footprint or referring me to a 3rd party footprint site.

These seem like standard packages that should be included in Kicad.
And we have no idea which package you are using.

Thanks so much, @hermit :blush: I’m pretty new to KiCad and PCB design, so please bear with me.

The TLC5916 is available in KiCad when I place the symbol in the schematic. I’m using the THT version of the IC, and I think I should go with the Package_DIP:DIP-16_W7.62. Does that sound right?"

That looks to fit the package dimensions in the datasheet. Note that some packages come in different widths, but datasheets usually include a diagram with dimensions to check against.
