Output drive and timing margin
Each output delivers 24 mA source and 24 mA sink — enough to drive a loaded data bus or a bank of LEDs without external buffers. The 8.5 ns propagation delay at 3.3 V and 50 pF load gives you a clean timing budget for 100 MHz clocking; keep trace lengths short and use series termination if the bus fans out beyond four loads.
Lifecycle and sourcing posture
This part carries an Active lifecycle status with ROHS3 compliance. No last-time-buy or end-of-life notice is on record, so it is safe to freeze into a production BOM.
