#160315 - 8051 cannot perform as a SOURCE

... an 8051 cannot perform as a SOURCE whereas other micros can both SOURCE and SINK.

That's the Classic 8051/8052 Port structure - as in the Intel original.

Many modern derivatives do (also) have the option to source current - but that is device-specific and (usually?) does require you to configure it via some device-specific control register(s).
As ever, you need to read the specific datasheet for details...
