Device identity and production status
The SN74ABT16540DL is an 8-bit bus driver from Texas Instruments' ABT series, featuring 3-state outputs for shared-bus architectures. Texas Instruments lists this part as Active in production, so it remains available for both new designs and ongoing BOM replenishment.
RoHS compliance and package note
The SN74ABT16540DL is marked RoHS non-compliant, which means it contains lead (Pb) above the exemption thresholds — a factor for EU RoHS or similar regulated markets. Supplied in Bulk packaging, this is typically a tube or tray format, not tape-and-reel, so plan for manual or tube-fed pick-and-place handling.
Sourcing and availability
As an active Texas Instruments logic device, the SN74ABT16540DL is sourced through authorized and independent distribution channels. Current pricing and lead time are confirmed at quote time against your BOM quantity — no stock-holding claim is made here.
