Synopsis

This tutorial/project is LED interfaced with microcontroller (µC) AT89S52. The blinking (ON/OFF) of LED should be controlled with predefined time delay by microcontroller. AT89S52, which belongs to the family of 8051 series of microcontrollers, is very commonly used by a large community of hobbyist and engineers. Its simplicity and ease of programming with inbuilt features easily makes its position in the top preferred list of microcontroller for both beginners and advanced user. LED is a particular type of diode which converts electrical energy into light. LED stands for “Light Emitting Diode.” They are very cheap and easily available in a variety of shape, size and colors. They find multiple applications as indicators during experimentations to check the validity of the results at different stages.

Description

The principle of operation of LEDs is simple. The commonly available LEDs have a drop voltage of 1.7 V and need 10 mA to glow at full intensity. The following circuit describes “how to glow a LED”. The AT89S52 microcontroller can sink (“absorb”) or source (“give out”) a small amount of current. A series resistor is also required to limit the current. LED’s anode directly connected to GPIO pins of microcontroller and cathode is connected to ground which is sink mode. In this mode controller supply current. When controller pin high (1) LED will glow and pin will low (0) LED does not glow. However the output of the controller is not sufficient enough to drive the LEDs, so the LED will not glow at full illumination. In source mode operation is vice versa which means supply provided to the controller. The fig 1 shows the pins of LED. The fig 2 shows the mode of LED connection with controller.

Resister value calculation

The value of resistance R can be calculated using the equation, R=(V-Vd)/Id Where V input voltage, Vd LED voltage Id LED current R= (V-1.7)/10 mA Since most of the controllers work on 5V, so substituting V= 5V, the value of resistance comes out to be 330 ohm. The resistance 220 ohm, 470 ohm is commonly used substitute in case 330 ohm is not available.



Application

• LEDs are widely used in many applications like in seven segments.

• They are used in dot matrix displays.

• They can be used for street lights.

• They are used as indicators.

• They can be used in traffic lights.

• They are used in emergency lights
