The title says it all I suppose. I am driving 32 loads at under 1A each on each of the 32 outputs of the 9477. Not all the loads are on at one time, and each pulse is only about 50ms long. It might happen (but improbable) that all 32 outputs need to turn on simultaneously, thus pushing the current well above the rated 20A, but only for a very short time.
Is this ok? I accept the answers 'yes' or 'yes, but....'
