I don&amp;#39;t know if it is within 0.5mA though.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;3mA when VDD is greater than 1.7V is with a pad voltage of 0.4V, if you increase the current the pad voltage will increase. We recommend that you sink current instead of sourcing current from the chip, and recommended total current should be less than about 15mA.&lt;/p&gt;
