Current Derating Curves
Note:
Driving these high power devices at currents less than the test conditions may produce unpredictable results and may be subject
to variation in performance. Pulse width modulation is recommended for dimming effects.
Figure 4a. Maximum Forward Current vs. Ambient Temperature. Derating based on
T_JMAX = 120°C. Applicable for LXHLBW03 and LXHLMWGC.
Figure 4b. Maximum Forward Current vs. Ambient Temperature.
Derating based on T_JMAX = 120°C and T_{AMBIENT MAX} = 75°C for LXHLNWG8.
