Bus driver in active production — what this means for your BOM
The Texas Instruments SN74LV244DWR is a BUS DRIVER — a non-inverting octal buffer and line driver designed for bus-oriented or memory-address driving applications.
RoHS status — a compliance flag to resolve
If your process mandates RoHS compliance, you will need either a waiver or an alternate part number. The SN74LV244 family includes RoHS-compliant variants (e.g., SN74LV244PWR), though the specific order code and package differ.
Sourcing posture — quoted to order
Because the part is active and non-RoHS, supply is generally stable but not always on the shelf at every distributor — the RFQ route ensures a committed price and delivery window.
