What the ATM SAR function means for the BOM
The TNETA1561PGC is a Texas Instruments ATM Segmentation and Reassembly (SAR) device — it handles the conversion between ATM cell streams and higher-layer protocol data units. For a line card or access multiplexer that terminates ATM traffic, this IC is the traffic-shaping and reassembly engine between the physical layer and the host bus.
Package and procurement posture
Supplied in Bulk — loose units, not tape-and-reel. For a prototype run or a low-volume production build, Bulk is straightforward; for high-volume pick-and-place, confirm the handling plan with your CM since there is no carrier tape.
