Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

You have a CPU output that can support up to 20mA, and you want to drive 5 devices that need 7mA each. Will you need a buffer? If yes, calculate the maximum number of devices it can directly drive.

💡 Hint: Calculate the total current needed and compare it to the output.

Question 2

Design a simple circuit illustration showing the use of buffers with TTL outputs, indicating how you would connect multiple devices to a single output pin.

💡 Hint: Draw one input leading to multiple outputs, labeling each connection.
