The propagation delay is 4.5 ns at 5 V into 50 pF, which keeps setup-and-hold margins comfortable in most 100 MHz-class buses.
160 MHz clock and 4.5 ns propagation delay — timing closure for high-speed paths
At 160 MHz the part is fast enough for SPI clock lines, address decoding, or pipeline registers in moderate-speed logic. The 4.5 ns propagation delay at 5 V means you can chain several of these without losing a clock cycle at 100 MHz. At lower supply voltages the delay increases — budget an extra nanosecond or two at 1.8 V — but the part still runs comfortably at 50 MHz.
