#138437 - Not a spec
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Per Guldmann said:
From the DS89C430/440/450 spec. sheet:

Output low voltage Port 1 and 3: 0.15V at IOL 1.6 mA

So you cant drive a led directly.

That 1.6mA is a Test Condition for measuring Vol - it is not a rating for the pin's current capability!

In fact, looking at the Maxim/Dallas Datasheet, I couldn't see anywhere where it states the pin current Ratings:
http://datasheets.maxim-ic.com/en/ds/DS8...89C450.pdf

However, in the absence of any specific indication to the contrary, it is best to assume that the port pins are not designed to drive LEDs directly...
