Precaution for Use
Product Data Sheet
SMJL-3P22W4P3 – Acrich3 22W
- Increase in reverse leakage current lowered turn-on voltage
- Abnormal emissions from the LED at low current
The following recommendations are suggested to help minimize the potential for an ESD event.
One or more recommended work area suggestions:
- Ionizing fan setup
- ESD table/shelf mat made of conductive materials
- ESD safe storage containers
One or more personnel suggestion options:
- Antistatic wrist-strap
- Antistatic material shoes
- Antistatic clothes
Environmental controls:
- Humidity control (ESD gets worse in a dry environment)
b. EOS (Electrical Over Stress)
Electrical Over-Stress (EOS) is defined as damage that may occur when an electronic device is
subjected to a current or voltage that is beyond the maximum specification limits of the device.
The effects from an EOS event can be noticed through product performance like:
- Changes to the performance of the LED package
(If the damage is around the bond pad area and since the package is completely encapsulated
the package may turn on but flicker show severe performance degradation.)
- Changes to the light output of the luminaire from component failure
- Components on the board not operating at determined drive power
Failure of performance from entire fixture due to changes in circuit voltage and current across total
circuit causing trickle down failures. It is impossible to predict the failure mode of every LED exposed
to electrical overstress as the failure modes have been investigated to vary, but there are some
common signs that will indicate an EOS event has occurred:
- Damaged may be noticed to the bond wires (appearing similar to a blown fuse)
- Damage to the bond pads located on the emission surface of the LED package
(shadowing can be noticed around the bond pads while viewing through a microscope)
- Anomalies noticed in the encapsulation and phosphor around the bond wires
- This damage usually appears due to the thermal stress produced during the EOS event
c. To help minimize the damage from an EOS event Seoul Semiconductor recommends utilizing:
- A surge protection circuit
- An appropriately rated over voltage protection device
- A current limiting device
