It&amp;#39;s possible to configure up to 3 pins in high drive mode. In normal drive you can draw up to 0.5mA. See the General Purpose I/O (GPIO) specifications chapter in the nRF51822 Product Specification. It&amp;#39;s technically possible to draw more current, but then you are operating outside of specification. You won&amp;#39;t damage the part, but we no longer guarantee correct operation as specified.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
