Designing with Acriche A4
SAWX4A0X
Introduction
Features
The Acriche series of devices are
designed for ease of implementation
and readily connect to AC sources
emitting very high flux while minimizing
driver requirements.
Acriche products are long-lasting, environmentally
friendly semiconductor light sources that can be attached either
directly to AC voltages, or as with the A4, to a simple diode bridge
(see Fig 6).
• Connect using a simple
diode bridge directly to
AC power
• Power Saving
• Long Life Time
• Simple BOM
• Miniaturization
• Low thermal
resistance
• SMT solderability
• Lead Free product
• RoHS compliant
Acriche’s thermal management exceeds other power LED solutions
incorporating state-of-the-art SMD technology, thermal path design,
and low thermal resistant materials.
Whether designing a spot light or tiled array, the Acriche A4 is an
ideal light source for general purpose illumination applications.
This application note provides assembly and handling information of
the A4 series.

1.1 Description
The ACRICHE A4 emitter is designed to operate off of rectified high voltage AC. The A4 PKG
contains a high brightness, high voltage LED chip array on a ceramic substrate that functions as a
mechanical support for the chips and connects the LED chip to the anode and cathode of the
package. Each A4 emitter contains a zener diode to provide ESD protection. A silicone lens
covering the LED chip helps to extract the light and provide environmental protection.

1.2 Mechanical Dimensions
As seen in Fig 2 below, the theoretical optical center is located at the center of the A4 package.
The anode, cathode and thermal pads are located on the bottom of the package. The cathode
mark indicates the cathode pad location. The ceramic substrate electrically isolates the thermal
pad or slug from the cathode and anode. Electrical shocks can occur at high voltage, therefore
safety considerations should be taken into account by following UL Recommendations.
The A4 has been UL recognized.

1.3 PCB solder pad layout
The ACRICHE A4 emitter should be mounted on a printed circuit board for electrical connections
and to give a proper thermal path between the LED package and the heat sink. A temperature
check point is recommended to be designed into the solder pad layout which can be used to
calculate the junction temperature for thermal degradation and life time calculations. The solder
pad should not be designed larger than the recommended size as the part may shift and excess
solder paste may form solder balls which can create electrical shorts between internal pads on the
6.4
package (Figure 4).

Solder balls if excess solder paste is used.
The LED may be partially on or totally
turned off.

1.4 Junction Temperature
The life time of the ACRICHE A4 emitter is most directly related to the junction temperature, but it
is impossible to measure the junction temperature directly without any damage. Tj can be
theoretically calculated by using the thermal resistance between the LED junction and the board.
The equation for Tj is: Tj[℃] = Tb[℃] + RΘ j-b[℃/W] x emitter power[W].
The equation of the emitter power is calculated using the following formula:
P[W] = Input Vrms[V] X Input Irms[A] X Power Factor – Irms2[A] X Resistor Value[Ω].
The rectifier power dissipation is negligible so we are not using this in the calculations, although
we do need the Power Factor(PF) for the A4 emitter. It is about 0.89 in the typical drive
configuration consisting of only a rectifier and a resistor. (Note: The PF is 1.00 generally in
constant current drive).

1.5 Lens handling
Improper handling of the LED packages can damage the silicone lens. Avoid touching the silicone
dome of the LED especially with sharp tools. Pick up the LED on the sides of the package. Any
physical force to the silicone lens in excess of 3000gf will permanently and fatally damage the part.
The silicone dome is sensitive to dust and debris and can cause an optical output decrease. If dust
or debris accumulates on the lens, isopropyl alcohol (IPA) can be used to remove dust from the
lens.
2. Driver Configurations
2.1 Description
The ACRICHE A4 emitter is designed to operate directly off of AC line power(e.g 120Vac, 230Vac)
with a rectifier, resistors or optional capacitor(s). This compact circuit can minimize the lighting
product size, help simplify thermal design, and increase overall product reliability. It is also an
economical solution because you do not need to have all the extra components. Typical low
voltage DC circuits require a transformer, regulator and multiple discrete components such as
capacitors, inductors, resistors.
2.2 Proper resistor selection
Operating the ACRICHE A4 emitter requires a bridge rectifier and resistors at a minimum, since the
architecture of the A4 has been modified from the earlier versions of the Acriche family(A2, A3),
which did not need a bridge. This architecture has a string of LEDs in one direction only,
compared to the previous version which has strings in both directions, thereby not requiring the
diode bridge previously. Utilizing the new architecture, we are able to reduce the number of LEDs
needed, thereby reducing package size and price.
It is better to use higher than rated power resistors for reliability. The rated power of the resistor
should be chosen based on the equation Irms(A)*Irms(A)*Resistor value(ohms). The normal
power rating of a 3216 size resistor is 0.25W. If the power consumption in one resistor exceeds
the rated power of the resistor it is suggested to use multiple resistors in parallel.

Optional circuit configuration#1: This adds an output capacitor to the standard circuit. This
configuration has no flicker. The current shape through the A4 package is similar to DC current,
as seen in Figure 8. Input current and LED current are not the same value. The target drive
current indicates LED current through A4 PKG. There is no difference in resistor values between
50Hz and 60Hz of frequency.

Optional circuit configuration#2: This adds an input capacitor to the standard circuit. This
Configuration has the same current shape through the A4 package as the standard AC drive
(as seen in Figure 8), but since it can only drive one LED string it is very suitable for compact
designs like a candle lamp. Additionally the circuit efficiency is very high(see table 13). You can
also improve efficiency a little by eliminating the output resistor(Rout), but SSC recommends using
Rout for surge immunity.

We can also see based on Figure 10, the peak currents and waveforms are different based on
number of LEDs in the circuit. The more LEDs in the circuit the higher the peak current in identical
currents(i.e. 20mA rms). This translates into lower luminous output because of droop, but we will
see higher power factors with more LEDs. Flicker can be more prominent with a higher
number of LEDs as you can see there is more off time with more LEDs.

Figure 12 shows LED current vs input voltage variation on A4 with 1-4 emitters. When quantities of
LEDs decrease, the current variation is less.

Optional circuit configuration#3: This adds an input capacitor and output capacitor to the
standard circuit. This configuration has no flicker and the current shape through the A4 package
is similar to DC current, as seen in Figure 8. This means we get a combination of configurations
#1 & 2, higher efficiency and no flicker issues.

2.4 Circuit configuration performance
The ACRICHE A4 emitter can be operated in diverse configurations. Configuration #1 has no
flicker, but has lower power factor and lower efficiency. On the contrary using Configuration #2,
there are characteristics of high efficiency, higher power factor. Lastly, configuration #3 has the
merit from configuration#1 & 2. It has high efficiency, no flicker, but power factor is a little low.
Table 13 shows detail circuit charateristic of four configurations that are operated in 230Vac/50Hz.

2.5 Relative light output between AC and DC
The ACRICHE A4 emitter is binned at rectified AC 20mA,rms, not at constant current 20mA.
Figure 15 shows relative luminous flux vs current of an AC circuit and a DC circuit. Relative flux
results are normalized luminous flux at AC 20mA,rms. The AC drive current can simply be changed
by modifying the resistor value in the circuit.
Optional circuit configurations 1 and 3 are similar to driving at a constant current, therefore they
will have similar luminous flux characteristics.

2.6 Vf bin combination
If we can combine multiple Vf bins, we can allow for more part acceptability in the system
application, thereby allowing a wider availability of parts. The ACRICHE A4 emitter can be
operated by mixing VF bins. The left picture of Figure 16 is an example of a series combination of
2 VF bin Cs in a 100/110/120V application. The right picture of Figure 15 would result in the same
current draw as the left using the same resistor, but this time we are combining 2 Vf B bins and 2
Vf D bins.

Figure 16. Same effect of Vf bin combination
The same idea can be applied for 2 Vf bin Bs in series. These can be replaced with 1 Vf bin A
and 1 Vf bin C. If we take a look at the resistor settings, for example a 120Vac application on
page 6(Fig 17), we can see how the math works. The easy calculation is to take the resistor
setting for Vf bin A and the resistor setting for Vf bin C, add them together and divide by 2.
If we look at the 2W configuration:
(1510ohms + 1210ohms) / 2 = 1360ohms, which is the same resistor value as Vf bin B.
We can further expand this to other combinations of Vf if we modify Rout for setting the current.
This technique can be easily modified for 220/230/240Vac applications. We just add the four
resistor values together and divide by 4 since we have 4 LEDs in series.

2.7 Color bin selection
Color coordinates of the part AN4240-03 can change over temperature. Color shift can be inimized
with a good thermal system design. If color stability is important in a system, it is recommended
to design the system based on the specific application temperature. An example of color shift over
temperature is shown below in Figure 18. We can see as the board temperature gets hotter we
have a color shift to the left. Each application is specific and should be verified in application.

3. Protection
3.1 Description
AC-LEDs are susceptible to line transients just as DC LEDs which can overheat the components,
either causing immediate failure or greatly shortening the useful life of the LEDs. Circuit-protection
should be utilized to protect against over-voltage, over-current and over temperature conditions.
3.2 Lightning surges, Voltage spikes or Ring Wave Protection
A metal oxide varistor (MOV) is often used to help protect lighting systems from lightning surges
and ring-wave effects, and helps manufacturers meet safety and performance standards. The MOV
clamps short-duration voltage impulses. Lightning tests according to IEC 61000-4-5 and ring-wave
tests according to IEEE C.62.41 can be used to simulate these real-life threats in the lab.
3.3 Over-current and Over-temperature Protection
In both AC-LEDs and DC-LEDs alike, excessive heat at the LED junction can dramatically reduce
both the light output and lifespan of the LED.
TE Circuit Protection’s PolySwitch polymeric positive temperature coefficient (PPTC) devices help
provide over-current and over-temperature protection and can be easily integrated onto a circuit
board with the AC-LED. The PPTC acts like a fuse to limit current in a series circuit that drives the
LED, yet can automatically reset itself when the fault clears.
An example circuit of a MOV and PPTC is shown in figure 19 below.
