Avago Technologies Introduces 1-Watt Cool White High-Power LED for Street Lamps, Portable, Task, and Decorative Lighting Applications



New Moonstone Low-Profile Power LED Offers Improved Lumens Per Watt Efficiency and High Flux Output of Up to 95 Lumens

FRANKFURT, Germany, Light + Building, April 9, 2008

avago Technologies today announced its first 1-Watt cool white Moonstone(TM) power
LED emitter for use in a variety of street lamps, portable, task, backlighting, and
decorative lighting applications. Avago's ASMT-MW09 LED features a low profile design
and delivers high flux output of up to 95 lumens (lm) at 350mA drive current.
Moreover, this new cool white power LED from Avago will enable lighting application
designers to achieve greater lumens output without sacrificing lumens per Watt
efficiency by using higher drive currents. Avago is a leading supplier of analog
interface components for communications, industrial and consumer applications.

Available in one of the industry's thinnest packages, Avago's ASMT-MW09 is an energy
efficient LED emitter that's encapsulated in a heat and UV resistant silicone compound
for high reliability and long life. This competitively priced Moonstone cool white
LED emitter provides designers of solid-state lighting applications with a wide
viewing angle radiation pattern, superior heat dissipation. Moreover, this new cool
white LED is ideal for use in lighting applications where height is a constraint.
Typical applications include architectural fa§ade lighting, track lights, spot lights
and street lamps.

Residential lighting, as well as portable and street light applications require LED packages capable of emitting high light output. As a result, lighting equipment manufacturers are constantly in need of brighter, more reliable high power LED packages. Avago's ASMT-MW09 LED offers high reliability and is available in color temperatures ranging from 4,000K to 10,000K to meet these lighting needs.

Avago's ASMT-MW09 is a high performance energy efficient device which can handle high thermal and high drive current. With an exposed pad design on the back of the package, it has low thermal resistance and is able to efficiently transfer heat from the package to the motherboard to maintain long term reliability. Moreover, the ASMT-MW09 is compatible with standard SMT reflow soldering processes to provide lighting designers with more freedom and flexibility in designing their applications.

In addition to its slim profile, high-brightness, and long life Avago's ASMT-MW09 series of 1W LEDs provide a significant advantage in the production environment: They can be easily soldered using conventional surface mount techniques to minimize production costs.

Features:

o 120-degree viewing angle

o Long operating life

o Energy efficient

o High reliability package due to enhanced silicone resin material

o Exposed pad for excellent heat transfer

o Suitable for reflow soldering processes

o Low thermal resistance

o Moisture sensitivity: MSL 4
