Port sourcing & sinking capacity

Post by jagspaul »

How much mili amp can be sinked & sourced by L1, L2, & G4 chip?
Where the relevant document may be found?

Its rather small for the Lx series (from memory) 4ma or 8ma depending on which pin, full details in datasheet as Bianco mentions.

In L1 data sheet I have found that Ports 1A, 1C, 1D, 1H, 1I, 1J, 1K and 1L are nominal 8mA drivers, the remainder of the general-purpose I/Os are 4 mA. It is true for all Lx & G4 controller?

it is really very small rather than PIC (20ma).

Yes the Lx series have puny output characteristics, they are also not 5v tolerant unlike the Gx series which are different again.
