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
a single easy-to-use platform. XLamp
High-Current LED Arrays are available
in 2-step, 3-step and 5-step EasyWhite®
bins.
FEATURES
• 9-mm optical source
• Mechanical and optical design
consistent with CXA15 and CXB15
LEDs
• Available in 70-, 80- and 90- and
95-minimum CRI options
• Cree EasyWhite® 2-, 3- and 5-step
binning
• Premium Color 2- and 3-step binning
• 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
(E349212)

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 16 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 17 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 18).
• 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.

XLAMP® CMA1516 LED
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 2 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.
Pre-Release Qualication Testing
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.
