® ® Cree XLamp LED Electrical Overstress This application note describes electrical overstress (EOS) events, their effect on Cree XLamp LEDs and some simple methods of protecting XLamp LEDs against EOS. Electrical overstress is simply exposing an LED to any current greater than the maximum current specified in that LED’s data sheet. The number or length of EOS events is irrelevant because any single EOS event can cause damage to the LED. This damage can be exhibited either in an immediate failure or a failure many hours after the EOS event. This application note assumes that primary protection circuits are already implemented in the power supply or in other protection systems to prevent damages from lightning strikes, power surges, power crosses, and so on. This application note will focus on secondary protection circuits to protect LEDs against EOS events that are commonly seen in practice. Please note that this document is not a complete guide on secondary protection circuits.
