SN74AUP1G17: Device drivability clarification

Part Number: SN74AUP1G17

Tool/software:

Hello TI guru,

I have question on the SN74AUP1G17 device drivability.

From the datasheet, the abs max IO continuous current through GND is +/- 50mA.

I would like to clarify what this mean?

Is it refer to there is a current limit to +/- 50mA when the IO (high) is short to ground and there is no issue on damaging the device?

Or the device will damage if it constantly short the output to ground ?

Thanks,
Best regards,
Alder
