What the 15 ns propagation delay means for your bus
The SN74ALS27AD is a triple 3-input NOR gate from TI's 74ALS family, in a 14-SOIC package. The headline number is 15 ns max propagation delay at 5 V and 50 pF load.
Output drive and what it can actually sink
The output is rated for 400 µA source and 8 mA sink. That 8 mA sink is enough to drive four standard LSTTL loads but won't directly light an LED or drive a relay coil without a transistor buffer.
Supply and temperature — where it fits
Runs on a 4.5 V to 5.5 V supply, so it's strictly a 5 V rail part.
