California Micro Devices Presents High Brightness LED Protection Devices at SIL 2010
SANTA CLARA, Calif., Feb. 10 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --
New Small Form Factor, High Voltage LuxGuard(R) Products
Highlighted
California Micro Devices, a wholly owned subsidiary of ON Semiconductor
(Nasdaq: ONNN), will be showcasing its innovative LuxGuard family of turnkey
solutions for ESD (electrostatic discharge) protection and thermal management
for high power, high brightness LED (light emitting diode) lighting
applications at the Strategies in Light Conference and Exhibition 2010 at the
Santa Clara Convention Center in Santa Clara, California, on February 10th
through 12th. A pioneer in the development of ESD protection circuits for
high power HBLED applications, CMD has shipped more than 300 million units to
customers since 2001. The market for high power HBLEDs has expanded beyond
traditional market segments such as the status and alphanumeric display
markets into a wider range of lighting applications including illumination;
automotive; signage and residential and commercial lighting.
New LuxGuard Products Showcased
The LuxGuard CM1753 and CM1754 feature a 50 volt breakdown voltage
specification, delivering a robust 8kV HBM (Human Body Model) of ESD
protection with low input capacitance for high power, high efficacy HBLED
lighting applications. Designed as silicon based side mount ESD protectors,
the CM1753 is designed for P-up common cathode configurations and the CM1754
provides identical protection for N-up common anode configurations. Their
small form factor enables them to be used in all applications, including
existing HBLED lamp modules with 1 to 15 LEDs in the string.
LuxGuard Range of Advanced Protection
LuxGuard products for HBLEDs include silicon submounts and side mount TVS
diodes. LuxGuard submounts provide integrated ESD protection at levels
exceeding 15kV HBM (Human Body Model). The submount also helps to cushion the
LED from stress due to thermal expansion coefficient differences between the
LED and the lead frame, while the option of an aluminum top coat provides
improved reflectivity. CMD also offers TVS diodes mounted next to the LED die
within the LED fixture. ESD ratings vary based on die size, and are typically
between 8kV and 30kV HBM.
With a number of design options, LuxGuard products leverage CMD's
significant process, design and application knowledge and provide customers
superior value of application specific solution, while enjoying the lower
costs associated with higher volume, general customer solutions. To find out
how to realize the LuxGuard Advantage for your next design, please go to:
In addition to CMD LuxGuard products, there will be demonstrations of ON
Semiconductor LED lighting applications including:
- Halogen desk lamp converted to LED using a Cree XLAMP(R) MC-E LED. The
lamp is powered by an ON Semiconductor offline LED driver GreenPoint(R)
reference design and meets the ENERGY STAR(R) SSL Power Factor
Requirement for Residential Luminaires.
- MR16 LED lamp powered by an ON Semiconductor 1W to 5W LED driver
GreenPoint(R) reference design which allows operation off of 12V ac or
12V dc.
