Avago Technologies Introduces Industry's Thinnest and Smallest Surface-Mount ChipLED Lamps in a Standard Package.


Lamps Support Thinner Handset Designs Without the Complications and Cost of EL Lighting

SAN JOSE San Jose, city, United States
San Jose (sănəzā`, săn hōzā`), city (1990 pop. 782,248), seat of Santa Clara co., W central Calif.; founded 1777, inc. 1850.
, Calif. -- Avago Technologies Avago Technologies is an American company which was earlier the semiconductor products division of HP and later Agilent Technologies, before being spun off into a distinct legal entity. It holds more than 2,000 patents.  today introduced the industry's thinnest surface mount (SMT (1) (Surface Mount Technology) See surface mount.

) light emitting diodes (LEDs) in the smallest industry-standard (0603) footprint available. With an ultra small form factor about the size of a pencil tip, these low-power LEDs use high-brightness chips to provide excellent illumination with minimum current consumption. These new ChipLED lamps from Avago are available in blue and phosphor A rare earth material used to coat the inside face of a CRT. When struck by an electron beam, the phosphor emits a visible light for a few milliseconds. In color displays, red, green and blue phosphor dots are grouped as a cluster.

By introducing the world's thinnest top emitting surface mount LEDs in an industry-standard ChipLED package configuration, designers can develop even smaller and thinner mobile handsets, handheld games and other miniature devices.

Features

* The Avago HSMR-CL25 is indium gallium nitride Indium gallium nitride (InGaN, InxGa1-xN) is a semiconductor material made of a mix of gallium nitride (GaN) and indium nitride (InN). It is a ternary group III/group V direct bandgap semiconductor.  (InGaN) blue, with 473 nm dominant wavelength In color science, the dominant wavelength and complementary wavelength are ways of describing non-spectral (polychromatic) light mixtures in terms of the spectral (monochromatic) light that evokes an identical perception of hue.  and 11.2-45-mcd luminous intensity Luminous intensity

The solid angular luminous flux density in a given direction from a light source. It may be considered as the luminous flux on a small surface normal to the given direction, divided by the solid angle (in steradians) which the surface
; the HSMW-CL25 is InGaN phosphor white with 28.5-112.5-mcd luminous intensity. All intensities are typical, measured at 5 mA drive current, and all packages use diffused optics. The top emitting package, with its wide viewing angle, is suitable for direct backlighting or use with light pipes

* Package is compatible with infrared (IR) reflow soldering Reflow soldering is the most common means to attach a surface mounted component to a circuit board, and typically consists of applying solder paste, positioning the devices, and reflowing the solder in a conveyorized oven.  and Avago's precision manufacturing techniques ensure perfect pick-up by automated manufacturing equipment

* Special leadframe construction of the HSMx-CL25 lead-free Avago ChipLED package series provides efficient transfer of heat away from the LED chip, to permit operation over the -40 C to +85 C temperature range

* Package dimensions: 1.6 mm (L) by 0.8 mm (W) by 0.25 mm (H)

U.S. Pricing and Availability

Avago's HSMR-CL25, and HSMW-CL25 ultra-thin ChipLEDs are priced at $0.14 in 10,000-piece quantities. They are supplied in 8 mm tape on 7-inch (178 mm) diameter reels for compatibility with automated manufacturing. Samples and production quantities are available now through Avago's direct sales channel and worldwide distribution partners.
