Answers Database CPLD: XC9500: How many outputs can you simultaneously drive at 24 mA? Record #1308 Product Family: Hardware Product Line: 9500 Product Part: 9500 Problem Title: CPLD: XC9500: How many outputs can you simultaneously drive at 24 mA? Problem Description: Urgency: Standard General Description: Is there a limit to the number of X9500 outputs which should be simultaneously driving 24mA? Solution 1: We do not currently specify a limit to the number of outputs simultaneously driving 24mA. However, it is recommended to use Slew Rate Limited (SLOW) mode on the outputs to reduce ground bounce which can be caused by having a large number of outputs switching simultaneously.
