Philips Semiconductors 74HC/HCT03 Quad 2-input NAND Gate Datasheet
The document is a product specification datasheet for the 74HC/HCT03, a high-speed Si-gate CMOS integrated circuit. These devices are pin compatible with low power Schottky TTL (LSTTL) and feature standard open-drain N-transistor outputs that allow them to be used as level shifters when combined with a pull-up resistor.
The datasheet provides comprehensive technical data including quick reference parameters, pin descriptions, functional diagrams, absolute maximum ratings, DC and AC electrical characteristics for both HC and HCT variants, application information regarding pull-up configurations, and references to package outlines.

Are the outputs clamped by a diode?
No, the open-drain N-transistor outputs are not clamped by a diode connected to Vcc.
What is the maximum DC output sink current?
The maximum DC output sink current is 25 mA when the output voltage is between -0.5 V and Vcc.
