Very interesting, I'll have to look into that .......

They still list all the standard Package-Dimensions, Solder-Masks, Disclaimers, etc.,
I wonder why they decided that 2 or 3 more pages was just too much
for "Family-Interface-Specifications" or something similar.

"Easily drives up to 2-TTL Inputs" worries me sometimes.
Maybe they are simply referring to
"at-the-Specified-Slew-Rate" or
"with XX Capacitive-Load"
or something similar,
that they never seem to find important enough to include.
And the rest of the text quite often seems to be an interpretation of Japanese,
pretty good most of the time, but really strange on occasion.

What chip? Do you have an example?

Japanese sounding English doesn't square with ST being a European company. Does it?

 

No, I'm simply recalling my limited experiences in both trying to create an interface
for another person, (several different occasions),
and, at a different time,
several days of casual investigation to see just how steep the
learning-curve might be for employing an FPGA,
boy, talk about jumping-off in the deep-end of the pool !!!
