APPLICATION DATA
Minimizing I
When the I/Os are used to control LEDs, they are normally connected to V
diode, when the LED is off the I/O V
specified as ∆I
Designs needing to minimize current consumption, such as battery power applications, should consider maintaining the I/O pins greater than or
equal to V
voltage by at least 1.2 V. Both of these methods maintain the I/O V
the LED is off.
