Lifecycle and sourcing
This part carries an Active lifecycle status and is ROHS3 compliant, so there is no imminent obsolescence risk for ongoing production. No second-source or direct replacement is listed in the official record, but the 74HC family includes many pin-compatible multiplexer variants that may serve as alternates with careful validation.
