Single open-drain buffer for mixed-voltage and wired-OR buses
The SN74LVC1G07DCKRE4 open-drain output lets multiple devices share a common pull-up resistor for wired-OR configurations or bus arbitration.
The high-level output current is not specified because an open-drain output floats when high — the pull-up resistor determines the high-level voltage and current.
Active lifecycle — no near-term supply risk
That means no last-time-buy scramble and no allocation pressure for the foreseeable future — a stable line item for the BOM.
