SN74LVT162245A: Is SN54LVT162245A is recommended for new design

Part Number: SN74LVT162245A

Hi,

For a new product a military grade 16 bits standard transceiver is required operating at 3.3V?

Is SN54LVT162245A recommended for new design spanning a required longevity of 10 years?

Thanks and Regards,

Subramaniam

  • Hello Subramaniam,
    I will ask our high reliability team to take a look at your question.
  • Subramaniam,

    First I must point out that we do not have a SN54LVT162245A released.  We have the following mil temp (54 series) 162245 variants:

    SN54LVTH162245, SN54ABT162245, SN54LVTH162245-SP

    Here is our official policy on obsolescence.

    Below is a quote from a document located at www.ti.com/quality It is in the General Quality Guidelines document.

    TI’s Product withdrawal/discontinuance process complies with J-STD-048, latest issue. TI makes an effort to not obsolete products out of convenience. Convenience means: low running device, poor yields, limited customer adoption or similar items. TI’s obsolescence withdrawal schedule provides a longer lead time than the industry standard. TI allows 12 months for the last order and an additional 6 months to take final delivery of obsolete items. In rare circumstances, an accelerated withdrawal schedule may be necessary. In such cases, TI will communicate the last buy and final delivery dates in the EOL notice, along with an explanation of the circumstances necessitating the early withdrawal.

    We still have products shipping that were designed in the 80's.
