Capacitive load driving



Hi.

I intend to connect the TCA6424ARGJR expander I/O ports DIRECTLY to high input capacitance mosfets (400 pF), i.e., WITHOUT series resistances between them.(The only reason for doing that is the small available area on the p. c. board.)

Can I do that safely, considering that the outputs logic levels WILL NOT change at high repetition rates? In other words, can this expander drive capacitive loads directly?
