Uc300eth-5lpt overheating precautions

Hi Doddy

not sure we are looking at the same board

the picture of the 5LPT-UC300 Motherboard

I am looking at has seven 14 pin IC's

possibly non inverting hex buffers ? (74HC365E ?)
[ with 6 inputs , 6 outputs & 2 supply pins ]

or 7414 inverting hex buffer found on some breakout boards

octal buffers like the 74245 have 20 pins -
8 inputs, 8 outputs, 2 supply (Vcc & Gnd) , 1 enable & 1 bi direction data control

PS

Just downloaded the UC300ETH manual (again) and see

2 ports have 12 outputs (like a PC printer port ) and the other
3 ports have only have 4 outputs

giving you a total of 36 digital outputs
so 7 hex buffers gives you 42 digital buffers to be used to buffer the micro controller
