Package and procurement fit
Shipped in Bulk packaging, which means the parts come in tubes or trays rather than tape-and-reel — factor this into your pick-and-place setup if the line expects reeled components. Classified under Discrete Semiconductors in the catalog, though functionally it is a programmable logic device — the category label does not affect the part's electrical fit.
