6-function NOR gate in the AS TTL family
The SN74AS1805N is a 6-function NOR gate, AS series, TTL logic. AS-series parts switch faster than 74LS logic but draw more supply current.
Active status — no LTB urgency, but watch the RoHS flag
The SN74AS1805N carries an Active lifecycle status, so there is no last-time-buy window to chase. One constraint: the part is RoHS non-compliant. If your BOM requires lead-free assembly or you are building for a market that enforces RoHS exemptions, this part needs a waiver or a leaded-process line. For legacy repair or mil/aero builds where tin-lead is still the standard, it is a straightforward fit.
Bulk packaging — repair bench vs. pick-and-place
That is fine for bench repair, prototype runs, or low-volume production where hand-stuffing is the norm. For high-volume pick-and-place, you will need to transfer to tube feeders or request an alternate packaging variant from TI.
