We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "SSOP",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Electronicstalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Voltage monitors check automotive supplies from
Linear Technology Corp, which we summarised at the time by saying "All devices have threshold accuracy of +/-1.5% over the automotive temperature range, allowing them to accurately monitor single channel point-of-load or multichannel
applications".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release DC/DC controller keeps quiet at high currents from
Linear Technology Corp: "Up to 12 phases can be paralleled and clocked out-of-phase to minimise input and output filtering requirements in high-current applications (up to 200A)".
In January 2008, we covered the news from Linear Technology Corp
concerning its LTC4223
- take a look at Dual-supply controller enables hot swapping
which says: "Dual supply hot swap controller enables live insertion and removal of mezzanine cards on AdvancedTCA carrier blades, MicroTCA systems or proprietary network platforms".
Take a look also at the news release from Linear Technology Corp, Dual-output power IC has automotive aims,
as well as Low-cost option for driving multiple-LED arrays from Toshiba Electronics Europe,
and Op amps enable low-power instrumentation from Linear Technology Corp.
