IR2101 hi/lo side driver discontinued?

[fitek]

I just got a notice from Newark that the IR2101 hi/lo side driver is on closeout. Seems to be hard to find elsewhere.

Digikey has 297 of the DIP package in stock and the rest are non-stock.

I used these extensively in my motor controller and some other circuits, so just a heads up

International Rectifier says it's status is still "Active", so what gives? (https://ec.irf.com/v6/en/US/adirect/ir?cmd=catProductDetailFrame&productID=IR2101PBF)

Wonder if there is a replacement part?

They're phasing out the non RoHS versions.

You can find them at Newark:

Digikey has some too, but too expensive.

There may be an alternate part with the same pinout that would work.
The FAN7382 looks like a pin for pin replacement and has even higher output rating.
