On parts like the Quad Bus Buffer SN74125 (not the SN74LS125A) there is a Short Circuit Output Current (Ios) parameter that states the output current when a gate being shorted. On the SN74125 a single gate can be shorted indefinitely.
I do not see a Ios parameter for the SN74AHC1G125 in its data sheet ( http://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/sn74ahc1g125.pdf ). Just a continuous maximum output current.
I am wondering if its output could be shorted to ground, and if so for what duration?
Any help would be appreciated.
