Dual 8-bit bus transceiver for 3.3 V backplanes
Each of the two elements handles 8 bits with independent direction and output-enable controls. Output drive is rated at 12 mA source and 12 mA sink per channel, enough for standard CMOS inputs and short PCB traces; for longer backplane runs or higher fan-out, plan on buffering or using a higher-drive variant.
Tape & Reel and Cut Tape options are available for both production reels and prototype quantities.
Lifecycle and regulatory status
No last-time-buy window is open, and no successor has been announced. The part is fully qualified for ongoing production and new designs. ROHS3 compliant per current TI declarations, with no exemption conflicts for EU, UK, or other ROHS-regulated markets. No additional substance restrictions beyond ROHS3 are stated.
