Cree® XLamp® CMA1516 LED
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Crees XLamp® High-Current LED Array
family is optimized for best-in-class
lumen output, efcacy and reliability at
high drive currents. XLamp CMA LEDs
share the same package design and
LES sizes as Crees industry-leading
CXA2 Standard Density LEDs, enabling
lighting manufacturers to address a
range of performance requirements
for applications such as track,
downlight and outdoor lighting using
a single easy-to-use platform. XLamp
High-Current LED Arrays are available
in 2-step, 3-step and 5-step EasyWhite®
bins.

OPERATING LIMITS
The maximum current rating of the CMA1516 depends on the case temperature (Tc) when the LED has reached thermal equilibrium
under steady-state operation. The graph shown below assumes that the system design employs good thermal management (thermal
interface material and heat sink) and may vary when poor thermal management is employed. Either solder pad shown in the Mechanical
Dimensions section on page 16 can be used as the Tc measurement point.
Another important factor in good thermal management is the temperature of the Light Emitting Surface (LES). Cree recommends a
maximum LES temperature of 140°C to ensure optimal LED lifetime. Please refer to the Thermal Design section on page 17 for more
information on LES temperature measurement.

Notes
Cree maintains a tolerance of ±7% on ux and power measurements, ±0.005 on chromaticity (CCx, CCy) measurements and a tolerance of ±2 on CRI
measurements. See the Measurements section (page 18).
For 80 CRI minimum LEDs, CRI R9 minimum is 0 with a ±2 tolerance. For 90 CRI minimum LEDs, CRI R9 typical is 60.
