Application design-in information

8.1 Minimizing IDD when the I/Os are used to control LEDs

When the I/Os are used to control LEDs, they are normally connected to VDD through a

resistor as shown in Figure 12. Since the LED acts as a diode, when the LED is off the I/O

VI is about 1.2 V less than VDD. The supply current, IDD, increases as VI becomes lower

than VDD.

Designs needing to minimize current consumption, such as battery power applications,

should consider maintaining the I/O pins greater than or equal to VDD when the LED is off.

Figure 13 shows a high value resistor in parallel with the LED. Figure 14 shows VDD less

than the LED supply voltage by at least 1.2 V. Both of these methods maintain the I/O VI

at or above VDD and prevents additional supply current consumption when the LED is off.

Device address configured as 1110 100X for this example.

P0_0, P0_2, P0_3 configured as outputs.

P0_1, P0_4, P0_5 configured as inputs.

P0_6, P0_7 and P1_0 to P1_7 configured as inputs.

(1) External resistors are required for inputs (on P port) that may float. If a driver to an input will never let the input float, a resistor

is not needed. If an output in the P port is configured as a push-pull output there is no need for external pull-up resistors. If an

output in the P port is configured as an open-drain output, external pull-up resistors are required.
