I'm looking at the datasheet for the NE555 timer. I found it here
http://pdf1.alldatasheet.com/datasheet-pdf/view/23385/STMICROELECTRONICS/NE555N.html
Supply current +5 volts when in low state is a max of 6mA. This might be a really dumb question but does that mean it will USE a max of 6mA or thats the max you can SUPPLY it(like you have to put a resistor inline with it).
