I have a need for a transistor array.. The Good ol' UDN2981.. unobtainium at the mo.
Allegro bought this beastie and renamed it A2981 and A2982... I'm facing a delivery time of mid 2022!!

Not a good start to a new product.. So I'm trying to redesign... Does anyone know of an 8 channel PNP transistor array??? Its like a needle in a haystack.

I have put 8 PNP transistors on the prototype but IC's would be better... The NPN's are abundant as many as I can eat.. I know its just the pandemic that caused this, but there MUST be another array....

I have tried P type fets, but they are nearly all complementary pairs...
 
What are the circuit / load characteristics you are trying to switch?

Might try one of these
Toshiba TBD62783.
Toshiba has a few of these type of arrays.

Sorry I can’t be of help, Ian.

This Silicon shortage is now affecting even jellybean components. Last week Digikey even ran out of MMBT3904 transistors!
They have received some inventory now.
 
Cheers! It's not for the want of looking... For some reason, here in Blighty, we have zero stock of everything... I think I'll just go back to bed..
