SN74ABT8646: SN74ABT8646DL Replacement Options

Part Number: SN74ABT8646

Tool/software:

I have several boards that use the SN74ABT8646DL variant of the 74ABT8646 family, which is a SSOP-28 pin device. Mouser says the chip is obsolete, but digikey has at least some in stock. I could not find this variant here in the TI website, but it does have the SOIC-28 in stock. Is there an alternate part that will fit in the SSOP-28 package that will perform the same function?

Respectfully,

Nate

  • What I mean by alternate is would something like a SN74ABT8543DW work as an equivalent or some other device within the Scan Test Devices With Octal Bus Transceivers And Registers family work to replace it?

  • Rochester Electronics is the authorized distributor for discontinued TI devices; DigiKey allows to buy through them. I recommend that you buy now all that you will ever need, because these 5670 are all that is left.

    The only replacement is to build a SOIC-to-SSOP adapter board.

  • I was hoping for better news, but your response was what I was expecting. Thank you for the response. I have thought about making a breakout for a SOIC to SSOP; not easy but not impossible. Thanks again for responding.
