I am constructing a project the will use a 555 to drive a decade counter and a shift register to create chasing LED display, but my digital skills are a little old.
The chips I selected from Digikey are: Timer: NE555P Shift Register: CD4015BE Decade Counter: CD4017BE LED 20mA
What I want to know is if the Shift-Register will sink enough current to light multiple LEDs (1-3) per each 'Q' ? Not, well does Texas Instruments carry a chip that is a combo Shift-Register/Driver or do I need to include a LED driver, and do I need a driver for each LED ?
Thanks
