DIP Circuit Alternative to PCA9547D SOIC Chip

[mfad]

Hey,

I was wondering if you guys could lend a helping hand on one of my problems or at least send me in the correct direction.

I am trying to redesign a circuit and one of the components being used is a:

PCA9547D 8-channel I2C-bus multiplexer
Datasheet: http://www.nxp.com/documents/data_sheet/PCA9547.pdf

This chip is a SOIC and I would rather use a DIP multiplexer with the same functionality. It would allow for accessibility and easy integration.

Is this feasible? Are there alternatives? How do I go about this problem? Any help you could offer would be great!

Thanks!
