Description
The HLCP-X100 and HLMP-2XXX series light bars
are rectangular light sources designed for a variety of
applications where a large bright source of light is
required. These light bars are configured in single-
in-line and dual-in-line packages that contain either
single or segmented light emitting areas. The AlGaAs
Red HLCP-X100 series LEDs use double hetero-
junction AlGaAs on a GaAs substrate. The HER
HLMP-2300/2600 and Yellow HLMP-2400/2700 series
LEDs have their p-n junctions diffused into a GaAsP
epitaxial layer on a GaP substrate. The Green HLMP-
2500/2800 series LEDs use a liquid phase GaP
epitaxial layer on a GaP substrate. The bicolor HLMP-
2900 series use a combination of HER/Yellow or HER/
Green LEDs.

Electrical
These light bars are composed of
two, four, or eight light emitting
diodes, with the light from each
LED optically scattered to form
an evenly illuminated light
emitting surface.
The anode and cathode of each
LED is brought out by separate
pins. This universal pinout
arrangement allows the LEDs to
be connected in three possible
configurations: parallel, series, or
series parallel. The typical
forward voltage values can be
scaled from Figures 4 and 9.
These values should be used to
calculate the current limiting
resistor value and typical power
consumption. Expected maximum
VF values for driver circuit design
and maximum power dissipation,
may be calculated using the
following VFMAX models:
AlGaAs Red HLCP-X100 series
VFMAX = 1.8 V + IPeak (20 Ω)
For: IPeak ≤ 20 mA
VFMAX = 2.0 V + IPeak (10 Ω)
For: 20 mA ≤ IPeak ≤ 45 mA
HER (HLMP-2300/2600/2900),
Yellow (HLMP-2400/2700/2900)
and Green (HLMP-2500/2800/
2900) series
VFMAX = 1.6 + IPeak (50 Ω)
For: 5 mA ≤ IPeak ≤ 20 mA
VFMAX = 1.8 + IPeak (40 Ω)
For: IPeak ≥ 20 mA
The maximum power dissipation
can be calculated for any pulsed
or DC drive condition. For DC
operation, the maximum power
dissipation is the product of the
maximum forward voltage and the
maximum forward current. For
pulsed operation, the maximum
power dissipation is the product
of the maximum forward voltage
at the peak forward current times
the maximum average forward
current. Maximum allowable
power dissipation for any given
ambient temperature and thermal
resistance (RθJ-A) can be deter-
mined by using Figure 2 or 7. The
solid line in Figure 2 or 7 (RθJ-A of
600/538 C/W) represents a typical
thermal resistance of a device
socketed in a printed circuit
board. The dashed lines represent
achievable thermal resistances
that can be obtained through
improved thermal design. Once
the maximum allowable power
dissipation is determined, the
maximum pulsed or DC forward
current can be calculated.

The radiation pattern for these
light bar devices is approximately
Lambertian. The luminous
sterance may be calculated using
one of the two following formulas:
Iv (cd)
Lv (cd/m2) =A (m2)
πIv (cd)
Lv (footlamberts) = A (ft2)
Refresh rates of 1 kHz or faster
provide the most efficient
operation resulting in the maxi-
mum possible time average
luminous intensity.
The time average luminous
intensity may be calculated using
the relative efficiency character-
istic of Figure 3 or 8, ηIPEAK, and
adjusted for operating ambient
temperature. The time average
luminous intensity at TA = 25°C is
calculated as follows:
(ηIPEAK) (Iv Data Sheet)
(1.18) (35 mcd)
The time average luminous
intensity may be adjusted for
operating ambient temperature by
the following exponential
equation:
Iv (TA) = IV (25°C)e[K (T –25°C)]
Color K
AlGaAs Red –0.0095/°C
HER –0.0131/°C
Yellow –0.0112/°C
Green –0.0104/°C
Example:
Iv (80°C) = (25 mcd)e[-0.0112 (80-25)]
= 14 mcd.
Mechanical
These light bar devices may be
operated in ambient temperatures
above +60°C without derating
when installed in a PC board
configuration that provides a
thermal resistance pin to ambient
value less than 280°C/W/LED. See
Figure 2 or 7 to determine the
maximum allowed thermal
resistance for the PC board,
RθPC-A, which will permit
nonderated operation in a given
ambient temperature.
To optimize device optical
performance, specially developed
plastics are used which restrict
the solvents that may be used for
cleaning. It is recommended that
only mixtures of Freon (F113)
and alcohol be used for vapor
cleaning processes, with an
immersion time in the vapors of
less than two (2) minutes
maximum. Some suggested vapor
cleaning solvents are Freon TE,
Genesolv DES, Arklone A or K. A
60°C (140°F) water cleaning
process may also be used, which
includes a neutralizer rinse (3%
ammonia solution or equivalent),
a surfactant rinse (1% detergent
solution or equivalent), a hot
water rinse and a thorough air
dry. Room temperature cleaning
may be accomplished with Freon
T-E35 or T-P35, Ethanol,
Isopropanol or water with a mild
detergent.
