PRODUCTION DATA
Refer to the PDF data sheet for device specific package drawings
This device includes balanced CMOS push-pull outputs. The term balanced indicates that the device can sink and source similar currents. The drive capability of this device may create fast edges into light loads, so routing and load conditions should be considered to prevent ringing. Additionally, the outputs of this device are capable of driving larger currents than the device can sustain without being damaged. It is important to limit the output power of the device to avoid damage due to overcurrent. The electrical and thermal limits defined in the Absolute Maximum Ratings must be followed at all times.
Unused push-pull CMOS outputs must be left disconnected.
