What this part is and where it fits
The SN74ALS746DWR is a bus driver from the Texas Instruments ALS (Advanced Low-Power Schottky) series. It is designed for buffering and driving bus lines in digital systems, typically found in backplane, memory, or peripheral interfaces where signal integrity over a shared bus matters. The ALS family offers a balance of speed and power that sits between the older LS and the faster AS/ACT families — a mid-range choice for legacy or performance-adequate logic designs.
Lifecycle and compliance — what it means for your BOM
The RoHS compliance field is marked non-compliant, indicating this variant is not manufactured for lead-free assembly processes.
