I'm looking for suitable parts for a prototype project. The digital side is all 3.3v powered. I have a 15v power inlet (it's coming over a cat5 connection a la 'power over ethernet').

TI make some nice looking chips such as: http://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/tps62175.pdf

However these look very tricky to prototype with due to the pads being under the chip.

Does anyone know of devices that are a bit more DIY-friendly? I'd like to use a switch-mode supply for efficiency reasons, this is for a digital application.
