Still doesn't answer my question
You said
On your board D2, D3, D4, and D5 comprise a cluster so you should have the 30 mA you need available from two pins in that cluster.
Is that true or not?
We tell people not to go back and edit their original posts but maybe they should.
If you are concerned about the two pins, consider it a typo. I was concentrating on getting OP to think about how they might answer their original question based on the chip that they actually have.
But if I did that, your comments in post #36 wouldn't make any sense. I don't have any reason to do that.
Yeah, I guess that telling the OP to do something you know will burn out thier board will certainly get them thinking all right
Where in the datasheet does it say that one can draw the max cluster current from any one pin? I read it the opposite. There's a n IOH spec per pin, and one must draw no more than the cluster maximum from the cluster pins as an aggregate. As a simple example, with a 10-pin cluster given a maximum of 30 mA, 4 pins may draw 7 mA each, a fifth may draw 2 mA, and the rest may draw nothing at all.
