Having a look at the 74AUP2G02 data sheet it looks like the SOT996-2 package is very close to the VSSOP8 (SOT765-1) package. For DIY I think you could easily use that part on the same footprint. It's a QFN style pkg, no leads.

Be careful though as there is a variety of similar packages.
This one is the 74AUP2G02GD which Digikey has 2860 in stock, min. 1pc.
