8.2.2.1 Minimizing ICC When I/Os Control LEDs

As shown in Figure 8-2, normally I/Os are connected to VCCPCC through a resistor when the I/Os are used to control LEDs. For a P-port configured as an input, current consumption increases as VI becomes lower than VCCPCC. The LEDs are diodes with threshold voltage VT, and are off when a P-port is configured as an input, but the voltages at the P-port will be equal to VCCPCCCC minus VT.

For battery-powered applications, it is essential that the voltage of P-ports controlling the LEDs is greater than or equal to VCCPCC 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 VCCPCC less than the LED supply voltage by at least VT. Both of these methods maintain the I/O VI at or above VCCPCC and prevent additional supply current consumption when the P-port is configured as an input and the LED is off.
