I would like to drive a solid state relay from the logic level out (it's essentially the same as an IR LED, except using less power but continuously while signalling "power on"). I don't know the specs on the CMOS driver, (or what other loads it has) so I'm not sure if it would be considered an unreasonable load (I need about 8ma at > 1.2V). It would not normally be considered excess, but... If possible, could someone with the appropriate knowledge indicate if it's reasonable to source 8 to 10ma from the output continuously? Also, I'm presuming that the load would be between the tip (L channel) and ring (R channel), rather than between L or R and ground. Would that be correct?
