What the 100K Series multiplexer brings to a signal chain
The Texas Instruments 100164J-MIL is a 100K Series multiplexer, a logic-family device that routes multiple analog or digital signals onto a common bus. In a high-speed system, this part replaces several discrete gates and reduces board area by centralizing the switching function.
Package and compliance considerations for the procurement desk
Supplied in Bulk package — typical for through-hole or large-pin-count devices where tape-and-reel is not required. The component engineer should verify the MSL level against the reflow profile if the board uses mixed assembly. RoHS non-compliant per the manufacturer's declaration. This limits use to legacy designs or markets with an RoHS exemption; new designs targeting RoHS compliance will need an alternative part.
