Bus transceiver for backplane and memory-mapped I/O
The Texas Instruments SN74AS643N is a bus driver/transceiver from the AS logic family, designed for bidirectional data transfer on a common bus. It handles the line-driving and direction-control tasks typical in backplane, memory-mapped I/O, and processor-to-peripheral interfaces where the bus needs to be actively driven in both directions.
RoHS non-compliance — design-in constraint
The SN74AS643N is listed as RoHS non-compliant. That means the device uses lead-bearing solder terminations, which rules it out for designs that require full RoHS compliance or lead-free reflow profiles.
