Cree® XLamp® CMA1516 LED

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Cree’s XLamp® High-Current LED Array

family is optimized for best-in-class

lumen output, efcacy and reliability at

high drive currents. XLamp CMA LEDs

share the same package design and

LES sizes as Cree’s industry-leading

CXA2 Standard Density LEDs, enabling

lighting manufacturers to address a

range of performance requirements for

applications such as track, downlight

and outdoor lighting using

High-Current LED Arrays are now

available in two different versions:

Standard and eTone LEDs.

The eTone version delivers beautiful 90

CRI light quality at the same efcacy

as today’s standard 80 CRI LEDs.

Featuring the same mechanical and

optical characteristics as the Standard

version, the eTone LEDs allow easy

upgrades from 80 CRI to 90 CRI without

sacricing performance.

FEATURES

• 9-mm optical source

• Mechanical and optical design

consistent with CXA15 and CXB15

LEDs

• Cree EasyWhite® 2-, 3- and 5-step

binning

• Premium Color 2- and 3-step binning

• Standard & Premium Color LEDs

available in 70, 80, 90 and 95 CRI

minimum options

• eTone™ LEDs available in 90 CRI

minimum option

• Forward voltage option: 36-V class

• 85°C binning and characterization

• Maximum drive current: 1050mA

• 115° viewing angle, uniform

chromaticity profile

• Top-side solder connections

• RoHS and REACh compliant

• UL® recognized component

XLamp® Cma1516 LED

OPERATING LIMITS

The maximum current rating of the CMA1516 depends on the case temperature (Tc) when the LED has reached thermal equilibrium

under steady-state operation. The graph shown below assumes that the system design employs good thermal management (thermal

interface material and heat sink) and may vary when poor thermal management is employed. Either solder pad shown in the Mechanical

Dimensions section on page 18 can be used as the Tc measurement point.

Another important factor in good thermal management is the temperature of the Light Emitting Surface (LES). Cree recommends a

maximum LES temperature of 140°C to ensure optimal LED lifetime. Please refer to the Thermal Design section on page 19 for more

information on LES temperature measurement.

Notes

• Cree maintains a tolerance of ±7% on ux and power measurements, ±0.005 on chromaticity (CCx, CCy) measurements and a tolerance of ±2 on CRI

measurements. See the Measurements section (page 20).

• For 80 CRI minimum LEDs, CRI R9 minimum is 0 with a ±2 tolerance. For 90 CRI minimum LEDs, CRI R9 typical is 60.

RELATIVE LUMINOUS FLUX

The relative luminous ux values provided below are the ratio of:

• Measurements of CMA1516 at steady-state operation at the given conditions, divided by

• Flux measured during binning, which is a pulsed measurement at 450mA at TJ = 85°C.

For example, at steady-state operation of Tc = 55°C, IF = 700mA, the relative luminous ux ratio is 150% in the chart below. A CMA1516

LED that measures 1900lm during binning will deliver 2850lm (1900 * 1.5) at steady-state operation of Tc=55°C, IF = 700mA.

THERMAL DESIGN

The CMA family of LED arrays can include over a hundred different LED die inside one package, and thus over a hundred different junction

temperatures (TJ). Cree has intentionally removed junction-temperature-based operating limits and replaced the commonplace maximum

TJ calculations with maximum ratings based on forward current (IF) and case temperature (Tc). No additional calculations are required to

ensure that the CMA LED is being operated within its designed limits. LES temperature measurement provides additional verication of

good thermal design. Please refer to page 3 for the Operating Limit specications.

There is no need to calculate for TJ inside the package, as the thermal management design process, specically from solder point (TSP) to

ambient (Ta), remains identical to any other LED component. For more information on thermal management of Cree XLamp LEDs, please

refer to the Thermal Management application note. For CMA soldering recommendations and information on thermal interface materials

(TIM), LES temperature measurement, and connection methods, please refer to the Cree XLamp CM Family LEDs soldering and handling

document.

To keep the CMA1516 LED at or below the maximum rated Tc, the case to ambient temperature

thermal resistance (R_c-a) must be at or below the maximum R_c-a value shown on the following

graph, depending on the operating environment. The y-axis in the graph is a base 10 logarithmic

scale.

As the gure at right shows, the R_c-a value is the sum of the thermal resistance of the TIM (R_tim)

plus the thermal resistance of the heat sink (R_hs).

NOTES

Measurements

The luminous ux, radiant power, chromaticity, forward voltage and CRI measurements in this document are binning specications only

and solely represent product measurements as of the date of shipment. These measurements will change over time based on a number

of factors that are not within Cree’s control and are not intended or provided as operational specications for the products. Calculated

values are provided for informational purposes only and are not intended or provided as specications.



Please read the LED Reliability Overview for details of the qualication process Cree applies to ensure long-term reliability for XLamp

LEDs and details of Cree’s pre-release qualication testing for XLamp LEDs. Cree did not perform Room Temperature Operating Life

(RTOL) testing on the CMA1516 LED.

Lumen Maintenance

Cree now uses standardized IES LM-80-08 and TM-21-11 methods for collecting long-term data and extrapolating LED lumen maintenance.

For information on the specic LM-80 data sets available for this LED, refer to the public LM-80 results document.

Please read the Long-Term Lumen Maintenance application note for more details on Cree’s lumen maintenance testing and forecasting.

Please read the Thermal Management application note for details on how thermal design, ambient temperature, and drive current affect

the LED junction temperature.

RoHS Compliance

The levels of RoHS restricted materials in this product are below the maximum concentration values (also referred to as the threshold

limits) permitted for such substances, or are used in an exempted application, in accordance with EU Directive 2011/65/EC (RoHS2), as

implemented January 2, 2013. RoHS Declarations for this product can be obtained from your Cree representative or from the Product

Ecology section of the Cree website.

REACh Compliance

REACh substances of very high concern (SVHCs) information is available for this product. Since the European Chemical Agency (ECHA)

has published notice of their intent to frequently revise the SVHC listing for the foreseeable future, please contact a Cree representative to

insure you get the most up-to-date REACh SVHC Declaration. REACh banned substance information (REACh Article 67) is also available

upon request.

UL® Recognized Component

This product meets the requirements to be considered a UL Recognized Component with Level 4 enclosure consideration. The LED

package or a portion thereof has been investigated as a re and electrical enclosure per ANSI/UL 8750.

Vision Advisory

WARNING: Do not look at an exposed lamp in operation. Eye injury can result. For more information about LEDs and eye safety, please

refer to the LED Eye Safety application note.
