How to Read a Datasheet Part 1 of 2 – Typical/Maximum Characteristics and Binning

In this presentation we examine the key parameters specified on the first half of an LED datasheet from OSRAM Opto Semiconductors. The datasheet captures some of the most important technical characteristics of an LED. These include electrical, optical and thermal quantities, knowledge of which is paramount for an LED system design. Also, it has information on ordering codes, labeling and packaging of the LEDs.
