TI is declaring END OF LIFE on everything that was made in GFAB6 which
I assume was previously owned by National Semiconductor.

I found out about it in a very round about way on a TI forum.
https://e2e.ti.com/support/amplifiers/audio_amplifiers/f/6/t/457875

One member got a copy of this and was nice enough to post it.

A lot of this is stuff I could care less about because it is jelly
bean stuff like LMC567 but there are nicer things on this list. My
fear is what happens next? Are they going to close more fabs? How the
heck can they continue to fab LME49720 but not the single LME49710?

TI, they failed to manage BurrBrown correctly and now they are doing
the same to National. :(
