Minimizing ICC When I/Os Control LEDs

When the I/Os are used to control LEDs, normally they are connected to VCCP through a resistor as shown in Figure 8-2. For a P-port configured as an input, current consumption increases as VI becomes lower than VCCP. The LED is a diode, with threshold voltage VT, and when a P-port is configured as an input the LED are off, but VI is a VT drop below VCCPCC.

For battery-powered applications, it is essential that the voltage of P-ports controlling LEDs is greater than or equal to VCCP when the P-ports are configured as input to minimize current consumption. Figure 8-2 shows a high-value resistor in parallel with the LED. Figure 8-3 shows VCCP less than the LED supply voltage by at least VT. Both of these methods maintain the I/O VI at or above VCCP and prevent additional supply current consumption when the P-port is configured as an input and the LED is off.
