This method allows 2×N×(N1) 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 N1 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).
