The rated output current is the maximum load current that a power supply can provide at a specified ambient temperature. A power supply can never provide more current that it's rated output current unless there is a fault, such as short circuit at the load.

The number of gates per IC varies depending on the number of inputs per gate. Two?input gates are common, but if only a single input is required, such as in the 744 NOT(or inverter) gates, a 14 pin IC can accommodate 6 (or Hex) gates.
