Quoting Bob Axtell : >>> > Hmmm. Its actually SN74LV595A. At 3.3V is guarantees 8mA sink or source. > Look at TI's > website and ask for scbd152b.pdf. > > Sorry about that. > > --BOB TPIC6C595 will handle 250mA at 30V (100mA if all outputs are on simultaneously).. it's essentially an HC595 with 8 avalanche-rated DMOS open-drain transistors (one on each output).
