RazerThin® LEDs
CxxxRT290-S0200
Cree’s RazerThin LEDs are a new generation of solid-state LED emitters that combine highly efcient InGaN materials
with Cree’s proprietary G•SiC® substrate to deliver superior price/performance for high-intensity blue and green
LEDs. These vertically structured LED chips are approximately 95 microns in height and require a low forward
voltage. Cree’s RazerThin series chips have the ability to withstand 1000V ESD. Applications for RazerThin LEDs
include next-generation keypad backlighting where sub-miniaturization and thinner form factors are required.

Notes:
Maximum ratings are package dependent. The above ratings were determined using a T-1 3/4 package (with Hysol OS4000 epoxy)
for characterization. Seller makes no representations regarding ratings for packages other than the T-1 3/4 package used by Seller.
The forward currents (DC and Peak) are not limited by the G•SiC die but by the effect of the LED junction temperature on the
package. The junction temperature limit of 125°C is a limit of the T-1 3/4 package; junction temperature should be characterized
in a specic package to determine limitations. Assembly processing temperature must not exceed 325°C (< 5 seconds).
Product resistance to electrostatic discharge (ESD) is measured by simulating ESD using a rapid avalanche energy test (RAET).
The RAET procedures are designed to approximate the maximum ESD ratings shown. Seller gives no other assurances regarding
the ability of Products to withstand ESD.
All products conform to the listed minimum and maximum specications for electrical and optical characteristics when assembled
and operated at 20 mA within the maximum ratings shown above. Efciency decreases at higher currents. Typical values given
are the average values expected by Seller in large quantities and are provided for information only. Seller gives no assurances
products shipped will exhibit such typical ratings. All measurements were made using lamps in T-1 3/4 packages (with Hysol
OS4000 epoxy). Dominant wavelength measurements taken using Illuminance E.
