Critical Value is the Junction Temperature T J?
Junction Temperature Measurement Principles 1) Wavelength shift The recombination of the electron from the conducting band (n-type semiconductor) with the holes of the valence band (p-type) is a light emitting process. As the wavelength is directly correlated to the recombination energy and therefore depending on the forward voltage, the wavelength is increasing with decreasing forward voltage and increasing temperature. 2) Forward Voltage The Forward voltage is depending on the electron band gap and the Boltzmann distribution. The Boltzmann distribution is temperature depending and therefore the voltage is decreasing with increasing temperature.
Concept of measuring Tj with the forward voltage I [ma] I [ma] 50 Ideal 50 II R p Real R i 0 U v 0 1 2 3 4 U [V] 0 I U v 0 1 2 3 4 U [V] An ideal light emitting diode is closed up to a certain voltage, the forward voltage, and afterwards open without any influence of the current. The real LED has a different behavior and can be described in an easy equivalent circuit diagram as shown above. It is influenced by resistors parallel and in serious to the junction.

As Rp and Ri are different for every die, even within one lot, each LED must be calibrated.
Measurement Setup The internal resistance of the LED is strongly current depending and due to further distortions of higher order it is not possible to recalculate the pure forward voltage under running conditions. The running current must be lowered immediately to the measuring current, to measure the calibrated forward voltage without cooling down the LED. A possible circuit can look like the following.
Spannung [V] Spannung [V] Measurement Interpretation 3,2 2,57 0400mA = 2,58783 V = 25,1 C 3,0 2,56 2,8 2,55 2,6 0 1000 2000 T [µs] 0 1000 Meßpunkt [Einheit] Even within the realized switching time below 10 µs, a cooling of the LED is visible. Therefore the record transient is fitted with a biexponential curve with offset. The first half-value period is related to the thermal equilibration of the junction with the LED die, the second for the equilibration of the die with the substrate. The offset is simplified sum for the equilibration with the ambient and the final forward voltage at ambient temperature.
