I got mine from Mouser just a week or two ago.
Yea, just checked this morning and they have only a few thru-hole parts and SOICs are on
28 week backorder (which means that no one has any and TI has to schedule fab time to make
more).
Ideally the part that I want is similar to the
26s10 but it's non-bus
side signals are tri-state and LVTTL compliant. That would save me a fair
number of parts.
Planning to drive and receive from a single pin, per chance? If
they'll take LVTTL on the driver input (which I'm hoping they will)
you could probably get away with one 5V-tolerant tri-state buffer on
the receiver output if the enables are used wisely. I was planning to
try such a set-up with a 74LVC244.
That would work as it's spec'd to drive 5v with 5v tolerant inputs using a 3.3v
supply. It (and some related parts) support power sequencing if you tie the enable
(through a pullup to 3.3v) it'll be disabled while the 3.3v (and possibly others) is
coming up.
