Tool/software:
Is the maximum sink/source current specification for the output driver stage (6A/-4A) an internally limited current value? Or is it a warning to the designer to ensure that these current values are not exceeded?

Hi Daniel,
These are internal limitations of the device due to the output stage component resistances that affect the rise/fall time of the load capacitance.
Please refer to the safety limiting values as warning limits:
More on this in 5.7 Safety Limiting Values of the product's datasheet.
