The DS1834AU+T&R is supplied in an 8-pin uMAX/uSOP package (3.0 mm body width), which is a common footprint for space-constrained designs. It is surface-mount only — no through-hole variant. If you need a smaller quantity for prototyping, a cut-tape option is also available.
For BOM planning, that means no forced redesign or inventory hoarding — you can qualify it into a new design without worrying about a sudden discontinuation.
