The PIO Controller Interface is:
Drive Strength:
0 Low drive
1 Low drive
2 Medium drive
3 High drive
In the Electrical Characteristics, you have:
GPIO 1.8V Low: max 1 mA
GPIO 1.8V Medium: max 10 mA
GPIO 1.8V High: max 18 mA
GPIO 3.3V Low: max 2 mA
GPIO 3.3V Medium: max 20 mA
GPIO 3.3V High: max 32 mA

No, I have no way to retrieve the power for the several VDDIOP power
