LED Design Challenges: Binning
LED Manufacturing companies sort their product by “Bins”
based on lumen output, chromaticity, and wavelength
Leads to complications in the board-level manufacturing
process
Many ways to compensate:
SMT Line part placement
Calibration in software
Closed loop feedback

Binning Compensation
SMT line placement:
Treat different bins of LEDs as different components and place
accordingly
Calibration Techniques:
Current Control
– Use 1 bin per board
– Constant current control
Power Control
– Forward voltage implications over time and temperature
– Adjust current real time to compensate for variation in
forward voltage

Binning Compensation (Cont’d)
Feedback techniques:
Light sensor:
– Sense light output and adjust power accordingly
– Lifetime adjustment:
– Use light sensor to detect reduced light output due to
degradation of efficiency over long periods of time
– Adjust power to achieve previous light output, extending
the lifetime of the product
Lifetime considerations:
Thermal Management
Current and temperature relationship used to estimate lifetime
Measured by “L70” for white and “L50” for RGB

PCB Design Considerations
LED lighting fixtures are usually serial in nature
Power is usually passed along the “daisy chain” along w/ data
Leads to increased difficulty in board-level designs to minimize
losses
When designing for manufacturability, must provide for worst-
case scenario
– e.g. A 4 fixture chain powered by 24V @ 1A
– Power only comes into first board so it must carry current for
all other boards to the output connector
– Size traces accordingly
– Minimize distances between input and output
EMI Critical for offline applications
LED fixtures held to same EMI standards as traditional lighting
sources
Difficult to design for EMI with PWM implications

PCB Design Considerations (Cont’d)
Thermal issues:
Transistors switching LEDs will generate heat
LEDs themselves generate heat (~25% efficient)
Thermal solutions:
Metal Core PCBs popular for heat dissipation
Mechanical integration key for heat sinking / thermal flow
Temperature monitoring via onboard thermistors
– Thermal shutdown or compensation
– Active over LED lifetime
