Output drive and bus loading
Each output can sink 32mA and source 64mA, which provides enough drive for heavily loaded backplanes or memory arrays without external buffers. The 3-state outputs allow multiple transceivers to share a common data bus under control of the output enable signals.
RoHS status and compliance planning
This part is listed as RoHS non-compliant, which means it contains lead in the solder finish or other restricted substances above the exemption thresholds. Designs that require RoHS conformance will need a lead-free alternative or an exemption waiver.
