If you are trying to connect your HDD Controller to some custom electronics,
then, yes, 20mA is going to be a problem. Thats a pretty high current, so
you will need to add a buffer of some sort. However, a 74HC04 will never
present that kind of input load, so there's some confusion here. My question
to you is: Why do you think the load is 20mA?
To answer the 3.3V to 5V question can you provide the specific logic
families (or part numbers) of the driver and the load? The answer is complex
and is based on the kinds of families involved.
Ioh is specifified as a negative number because current is flowing OUT of
the pin, not in.
Hope this helps.
