CD4067 Multiplexer used to control LEDs

Posted on 28 May 2009 by tigoe

This tutorial will show how to control multiple LED outputs from a microcontroller
using a CD4067 analog multiplexer.
This is a stub. More explanation will follow, but for now, here are schematics and code
for Arduino.
Parts youll need:
CD4067B multiplexer
Arduino microcontroller
LEDs
The Circuit
CD4067B attached to an Arduino microcontroller The anodes of the LEDs connect to the multiplexer's
outputs

The schematic
The code
/*
Multiplexer output example
Controls 16 outputs, one at a time, using a CD4067B multiplexer.

This sketch loops over the 16 channels of a CD4067 multiplexer, switching
the input to each output channel in turn. It then fades up and down the
input channel using analogWrite().

The circuit:
* CD4067 multiplexer attached as follows:
- address pin A: digital I/O 2
- address pin B: digital I/O 3
- address pin C: digital I/O 4
- address pin D: digital I/O 5
- input pin: digital I/O pin 6
- LEDs attached from each of the CD4067's output channels
to ground

// put the address pin numbers in an array
// so they're easier to iterate over:
const int channel[] = {
2, 3, 4, 5};
// the output pin channel (mux's input):

const int outputPin = 6;
void setup() {
// set up all pins as output:
for (int thisPin = 2; thisPin < 7; thisPin++) {
pinMode(thisPin, OUTPUT);
}
}
void loop() {
// iterate over the 16 channels of the multiplexer:
for (int thisChannel = 0; thisChannel < 16; thisChannel++) {
// set the channel pins based on the channel you want:
muxWrite(thisChannel);
// fade the current channel up:
for (int brightness = 0; brightness < 256; brightness++) {
analogWrite(outputPin, brightness);
delay(5);
}
}
}
void muxWrite(int whichChannel) {
// iterate over the number of pins you're using:
for (int thisPin = 0; thisPin < 4; thisPin++) {
// calculate the state of this pin based on
// its bit value in whichChannel:
int pinState = bitRead(whichChannel, thisPin);
// turn the pin on or off:
digitalWrite(channel[thisPin],pinState);
}
