8051 drive transistor

I want use 8051's P1 port to drive transistors.

Can I use 74LS373 as this kind of driver or...?

So you want to connect a port pin to the input pin of something.

If you look very carefully at the datasheet5 for your uC, you will find strange values such as Ioh and Iol. For the chip you want to attach, you will find some other funny things like Iil and Iih.

Now, go figure what those mean and compare the two sets and, lo and behold, you will have your answer.

So sorry for forgetting listing the transistors I want to use.

They are small power switch transistors, such as 2N2222 and 2N2907.

I have checked datasheets for MCU and transistor already, what I want to know is to make sure...

Thank you for your ideas.

So what did you come up with?

8051 can drive those transistors.

before I implement the extensive experiments

I have to check my ideas.

and if you also want anyone else to check them, you'll have to say what they are!
