Added Lite-On SOP6

KiCad Bot requested to merge github/fork/lorenz/pr-liteon-sop6 into master

Created by: lorenz

This adds the Lite-On SOP6 footprint, common to a lot of Lite-On optical isolation devices (like all parts and series here) and some more.

Sadly Lite-On doesn't actually maintain separate package documentation and doesn't name their footprints so you have to look at the dimensions to figure out what belongs to what. Considering that they call a variant of this the SOP4 I'm calling this one SOP6 since this is what it most closely represents.

I've intentionally deviated from their recommended footprint since it's extremely simplistic and certain things are just plain bad (pad length 1.3mm with a lead length of 1.0mm +- 0.25) in favour of a more IPC-compliant footprint.

Datasheet

All contributions to the kicad library must follow the KiCad library convention

Thanks for creating a pull request to contribute to the KiCad libraries! To speed up integration of your PR, please check the following items:

  • Provide a URL to a datasheet for the footprint(s) you are contributing
  • An example screenshot image is very helpful
  • If there are matching symbol or 3D model pull requests, provide link(s) as appropriate
  • Check the output of the Travis automated check scripts - fix any errors as required
  • Give a reason behind any intentional library convention rule violation.

Be patient, we maintainers are volunteers with limited time and need to check your contribution against the datasheet. You can speed up the process by providing all the necessary information (see above). And you can speed up the process even more by providing a dimensioned drawing of your contribution. A tutorial on how to do that is found here: https://forum.kicad.info/t/how-to-check-footprint-correctness/9279 (This is optional!)
