Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'DWR' corresponds to the SOIC-20 package and tape-and-reel carrier format. Confirm RoHS compliance status and lead finish details via the manufacturer's current orderable addendum. Ensure the procurement channel sources active production units, as some package variants may be obsolete.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems requiring octal buffering with tri-state control. It is suitable for improving performance and density in memory address and clock driver circuits. Verify that the 2 V to 6 V supply range aligns with system requirements and that the SOIC-20 package fits the PCB layout constraints.
