We'll breadboard the power control circuitry using the 7050 and 2141 chips mounted on DIP headers so they're physically compatible with breadboards. In order to properly document the actual circuit we need to have corresponding components defined in Eagle.
For the production circuit boards, we could either use the DIP mounted components in sockets, or put the surface mount chips right on the PCB. It's probably possible to replace an SMD chip, but we might need a special rework station with a specialized hot air gun. (which would be a good thing to have anyway.)
