Maximum propagation delay is 17 ns at 6V with a 50 pF load. Output drive is 5.2 mA source and sink.
Package and footprint — 14-SOIC wide-body
The package has a 5.30 mm body width (0.209").
The 74HC series is a mature logic family with broad second-source support; TI continues to produce this part in the SOIC package.
The active lifecycle means there is no supply discontinuity risk from an imminent phase-out, but as with any mature logic IC, periodic stock checks are prudent for production planning.
