256 x 9 async FIFO — what this part is and where it fits
The Texas Instruments SN74ACT7200L15NP is an asynchronous FIFO memory organized 256 words deep by 9 bits wide.
Active lifecycle — no LTB pressure
The SN74ACT7200L15NP carries an Active product status. That means no last-time-buy notice pending, no imminent obsolescence. For a BOM line that needs this FIFO, there is no rush to qualify a substitute — the supply lane is open.
Bulk packaging — handling note
For a pick-and-place line, that means manual tube feeding or tray loading, not reel-to-reel.
