CMD introduced a high brightness LED ESD protection device LuxGuard CM1771

High power, high brightness LED (HBLED) is becoming more and more popular in lighting applications. HBLED is now used for the side mounted ESD protection device, the breakdown voltage is 100-V, while the existing side mounted ESD protection device breakdown voltage is limited to 50V. LuxGuard CM1771 addresses the growing power of high power HBLED lighting applications, including high output power, more than 120 lumens / watt high efficiency, or those in the serial arrangement using multiple HBLED drives. High operating voltage protection provided by the ESD shows that the ESD solves the problem of consuming more power when the shock is applied, as well as the low dynamic clamp voltage.

The LuxGuard CM1771 provides powerful symmetrical ESD protection, and has a very small, cost-effective, easy to integrate into a variety of HBLED lamp module. CM1771 has a bidirectional ESD protection back to back Zener diode configuration that can safely consume at least 6kV HBM (human body mode) ESD shock voltage. Compact flip chip package. Samples will be launched in October 2009, mass production is scheduled for the first quarter of 2010. The sample price is $0.05, the minimum order quantity is a crystal garden.
