Note that 40 mA is the absolute maximum rating. As the datasheet says:
Stating only:
Will give the users the impression that they are safe to go all the way up to 40 mA. I notice that note 3 under table 29-1 says:
So I guess that's where the 20 mA number comes from? I've always thought it was safe to go at least to 30 mA, but maybe 20 mA is the safe maximum. So it seems to me that it's really the Leonardo's product page that has the incorrect number. |
UNRELATED COMMENT For #11470 which I cannot comment on as it's been locked, there are at least two places this hasn't been updated for the Leonardo board:
I think either @FunzioneFabio or @kengdahl had worked on rolling this change out. |
Unfortunately it seems they don't want to deal with it :( |
@per1234 I don't think I can be of assist on this one. |
I believe there is an error on the "Tech Specs" link of the Arduino Micro, namely on these two websites:
https://store.arduino.cc/arduino-micro
https://store.arduino.cc/arduino-micro-without-headers
Specifically, the indication "DC Current per I/O Pin | 20 mA" is not correct: it should be 40mA. This information can be found on the datasheet of ATmega32U4, Section 29.1, page 383.
Interestingly, the same information appears correctly indicated on the "Tech Specs" of the Arduino Leonardo, which uses the same chipset as the Arduino Micro:
https://store.arduino.cc/leonardo
