" But for the P2, there are two. " Meaning, they have two sections in the MC6805P2 (and 'P4 and 'P6) "Port DC Electrical Characteristics" table of the spec sheet, one for "Port A with CMOS Drive enabled", and one for "Port C and Port A with CMOS Drive Disabled".

The "drive enabled" section matches the '705P3' table in having both the additional "VOH with a 10 uA load" spec, and having the higher IIH spec.

I think Asgard24's response tried to change the subject, writing "The point was that there should be a bit more clarity to begin with, not that the question couldn't be answered with some digging." That hadn't been the OP's point, but it was a point Asgard24 tried to turn it into for reasons I don't fathom well. You were right to write as you did. It was on point and nicely said. Jon |
