Current drive capability of 65c22

Post by Dan Moos »

If I'm reading the datasheet right, a port pin set as an output on the 65c22 can safely source about 3 mA.

That sound right?

Thus, if I want to drive some LED's , and being a conservative sort, would want to limit things to about 1.5 mA?

It is much, much stronger than the data sheet lets on. See my post at viewtopic.php?p=49396#p49396 .
http://WilsonMinesCo.com/ lots of 6502 resources
The "second front page" is http://wilsonminesco.com/links.html .
What's an additional VIA among friends, anyhow?
