Its LV family logic provides the low-voltage swing needed for 3.3 V and mixed-voltage boards without the shoot-through current of a full 5 V part. Typical deployment is in industrial control, telecom line cards, and processor-memory interface buffering where the bus needs clean edge rates and a controlled output impedance.
ROHS3 compliance covers the EU RoHS exemption list through 2026, which means no exemption-expiry-driven redesign for European markets in the near term.
