Minimizing IDD when the I/O is 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 10. Since the LED acts as a
diode, when the LED is off the I/O VIN is about 1.2 V less than VDD. The supply current, IDD, increases as VIN becomes lower than VDD and is
specified as ∆IDD in the DC characteristics table.
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 11 shows a high value resistor in parallel with the LED. Figure 12 shows VDD less than the LED supply
voltage by at least 1.2 V. Both of these methods maintain the I/O VIN at or above VDD and prevents additional supply current consumption when
the LED is off.
