Hi Pete,
No, that's wrong. 7438 guarantees 48mA, still a
little under spec, but
close, and the gates are the wrong way round.
--- I suppose you're basically right, but the TI datasheet doesn't specify the
output voltage at that current. It shows 48mA as being the maximum recommended sink
current, which certainly guarantees being free from damage at that level. The only spec I
find which guarantees the output voltage specifies just 16mA. I conservatively went with
that figure. In contrast, the 7439 datasheet does specify output voltage at 48, 60 and
80mA.
