Hi all:
I know the 16Fxxx has around a 25mA capacity on it's output drives, however, can it handle grounding a 5V charged 10uF cap via a 1n4148 diode? LTspice shows a spike of about 1.8Amps. With a 100ohm added in series with the diode the spike drops to around 40mA.
The purpose is driving an Nfet into soft on or (faster off) conditions.
