Procurement Notes

This component is officially designated as End-of-Life by Diodes Incorporated. Availability is restricted, and sourcing may require verification of remaining stock or secondary market channels. Engineers should initiate replacement planning immediately due to discontinuation status. Verify RoHS compliance details through official documentation before integration.

Selection Notes

Designers requiring active lifecycle components should evaluate alternative switches from the same family or newer generations. Consider port count requirements and thermal constraints when selecting replacements. Ensure pin compatibility and electrical specifications match existing board layouts to minimize redesign efforts during migration.
