please help to find out the upsd3354 maximum pin sink current limit, IOL. I could not find it out from the data sheet.

Could I directly use a GPIO pin to sink about 25mA current, for example, to drive a LED?

IOL is 10 mA at VOL = 0.6V for port 4 and is 8 mA for Port A, B, C, and D. However, the total operating current in Turbo mode is about 79 mA (5V) or 63 mA (3.3 V).

Driving LED with 20 mA is too much for the MCU.
