Light Emitting Diode Displays

Driving 24 leds with 4 uController pins 2 Transistors and some Resistors

From Saurabh Gupta and Dhananjay V Gadre, Netaji Subhas Institute of Technology, Dwarka, New Delhi, India

This method allows 2×N×(N–1) LEDs using only N I/O lines and a few additional discrete components. The technique exploits the fact that each I/O line has three states: one, zero, and high impedance. Thus, with two I/O lines, states 00, 01, 10, and 11 of eight possible states control the LEDs.

Here is an example with two I/O lines controlling four LEDs. P1 and P2 are the inputs. The circuit requires that the LED turn-on voltage should be slightly more than VCC/2. For red LEDs with a turn-on voltage of approximately 1.8V, a suitable supply voltage is 2.4V. For blue or white LEDs, you can use a 5V supply voltage. For N I/O lines, this technique requires N–1 transistor pairs.

Here are the states of P1 and P2 as they relate to which LED lights up:

P1 P2 TP1 LED
0 0 Vcc D3
0 1 Vcc D2
1 0 0 D1
1 1 0 D4
Z Z Vcc/2 None

A second example shows 24 white LEDs with 4 IO pins and 6 transistors controlled by an ATMEL AT Tiny 13 Microcontroller.

And here is the C source code for a bargraph display with the analog input comming into PB2 (pin 7, Ain).
