Ok, hope some ee major can answer this.  I am a cs major with enough
know-how to design and build logic using simple MSI parts, but I don't
know much about electronics in general.  What I need to know is, given
a CMOS or TTL output how can I amplify the output so as to be able to
drive a small relay (5VDC, 20mA, 250ohm)?

I've been glacing at relay drivers in my CMOS book and wasn't sure
if I was looking at the right chip or how I was to use it correctly.

Thanx.
