SuperBlue™ Generation II LEDs
Preliminary Data Sheet
C430CB230-S200
Cree’s low-current SuperBlue Generation II LEDs combine highly efficient GaN with Cree’s proprietary G•SiC®
substrate to deliver the ultimate price/performance for blue LEDs. The C430CB230-S2100 is designed for automotive
applications or any application where wavelength stability and chip robustness are critical.

Maximum ratings are package dependent. The above ratings were determined using a T-1 3/4 package (with Hysol OS4000
epoxy) for characterization. Ratings for other packages may differ. The forward currents (DC and Peak) are not limited by the 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 325°C (<5 seconds).
Product resistance to electrostatic discharge (ESD) according to the HBM is measured by simulating ESD using a rapid avalanche
energy test (RAET). The RAET procedures are designed to approximate the maximum ESD ratings shown. The ESD classification
of Class II is based on sample testing according to MIL-STD-883E.
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 within the range of average values expected by the manufacturer in large quantities and are provided for information only. All
measurements were made using lamps in T-1 3/4 packages (with Hysol OS4000 epoxy). Optical characteristics measured in an
integrating sphere using Illuminance A.
