#152817 - 8051 Output port drive current
Responding to: ???'s previous message
The Classic 80c51 GPIO output is Quasi-Bidirectional Port.... there is very little source current... but much more sink current.

Here's the FAQ on Quasi http://www.8052.com/faqs.phtml?FAQ=121619

HOWEVER new 80c51 processors are optioned up with push-pull current (sink/source) drive... 10~20mA per port pin depending on device chosen.

Rather then load up current through the port pin direct;y perhaps you drive the speaker via a transistor that may have 500mA IC max or more...

Here's an example for analog audio but you may be able to re-work it for GPIO port pin

I am sure there are other transistor speaker driver circuits on the web.
