Description
Cree’s CB series of SuperBright LEDs are a new generation of solid-state LED emitters which
combine highly efficient AlGaN/GaN single heterojunctions (SH) with Cree’s proprietary SiC
substrate to deliver the ultimate price/performance for high intensity blue LEDs. The C430-CB230E1000 is designed for use in backlighting applications. The C430-CB230-E1000 has a typical output
of 650 µW and a 465nm dominant wavelength (at 10 mA).

Notes:
1) Maximum ratings are package dependent. The above ratings were determined using a T-1 3/4 package (with Hysol OS4000 epoxy) for characterization. Seller makes no
representations regarding ratings for packages other than the T-1 3/4 package used by Seller. The forward currents (DC and Peak) are not limited by the G •SiC die but by the
effect of the LED junction temperature on the package. The junction temperature limit of 125°C is a limit of the T-1 3/4 package; junction temperature should be characterized in
a specific package to determine limitations. Assembly processing temperature must not exceed 350°C (< 15 minutes).
2) Product resistance to electrostatic discharge (ESD) is measured by simulating ESD using a rapid avalanche energy test (RAET). The RAET procedures are designed to
approximate the maximum ESD ratings shown. Seller gives no other assurances regarding the ability of Products to withstand ESD.
3) All Products conform to the listed minimum and maximum specifications for electrical and optical characteristics, when assembled and operated at 10 mA within the maximum
ratings shown above. Efficiency decreases at higher currents. Typical values given are the average values expected by Seller in large quantities and are provided for information
only. Seller gives no assurances Products shipped will exhibit such typical ratings. All measurements were made using lamps in T-1 3/4 packages (with Hysol OS4000 epoxy).
Optical characteristics were measured in a Photoresearch Spectrascan Integrating Sphere. Illuminance E.
4) All Products conform to the listed mechanical specifications within the tolerances shown.
