GPIO output source resistance

What is the source resistance for the GPIO pin when driven high and configured as following:

  • Output, Standard 0.5mA drive, No pullup, S0S1
  • Output, High 5mA drive, No pullup, H0H1

  • Hi,

    We do not have specification for this parameters, but by looking at the guaranteed voltage area for the output, you can do some simple calculation to find the resistance.

    In both "High" and "Standard", we guarantee that the voltage shall be within VDD-0.3V when setting the output.

    The equivalent resistance can then be calculated:

    Re = delta(U) / I
    

    For "Standard" 0.5 mA:

    Re = 0.3 V / 0.0005 A = 600 ohm 
    

    For "High" 5 mA:

    Re = 0.3 V / 0.005 A = 60 ohm
    

    Cheers, Håkon

  • can i connect two gpio to a single buzzer sot hat my current will be 10mA in the positive terminal of the buzzer ? becuase i ahve ssen in datasheet it is mentioned maximum drive curretn 5MA on single GPIO pin so can you give me some clarification about this point
