SSL-LX3353GD

LED Indication - Discrete

The SSL-LX3353GD is a single digital indication LED that is used to clearly indicate a state or condition within a digital circuit. It is designed with a long LED operating life, as well as low-voltage operation and circuit acceptability. The LED is used for many different applications such as status indication, alarm or alarm systems, fault indication, and a variety of other types of circuit functions.

Application Fields

The SSL-LX3353GD is often used for applications wherein a discrete indication is necessary. This includes circuit status indication and fault indication. The LED has the ability to be configured in two different colors or light levels, allowing the user to differentiate between two hardware or software status conditions. Additionally, the LED allows the user to configure the brightness level, which can be adjusted as necessary to ensure that the LED is still easily visible without being overly bright.

The LED is also used as an alarm system indicator, such as in security systems, fire alarm systems, or other automated systems. The brightness level of the LED can be adjusted to ensure maximum visibility when an alarm is triggered, allowing the user to quickly and easily identify potential hazardous conditions. The LED is also commonly used in industrial settings, such as conveyor systems, and machine monitoring and control.

Working Principle

The SSL-LX3353GD is a simplified version of a conventional diode, which is composed of two semiconductor layers, one P-N junction and two current-carrying electrodes named anode and cathode. The P-N junction performs the same function as a voltage-controlled switch, allowing current to flow between the anode and cathode when a positive potential is applied, whereas a negative potential will impede current flow. Depending on the applied voltage, the amount of current that flows can be varied. The LED utilizes this principle, operating when current is passed through it to create illumination.

For the LED to achieve the best performance and visual appeal, the circuit must be able to deliver the ideal current to the LED when in use. The LED is manufactured to be conductive to low-voltage operations, with a nominal operating voltage of 2.2 V, making it ideal for many electronic situations. The LED is also specified for a wide temperature range, between -40C and +90C, and as such is capable of a long lifespan and highly temperature tolerant performance.

Conclusion

The SSL-LX3353GD is a solid-state LED that is designed to provide a discrete indication on a digital circuit. It is able to provide dual-color output and adjustable brightness, enabling it to be used for a variety of applications such as fault and status indication, alarm systems, and machine monitoring and control. Additionally, the LED is specified to be operationally capable in low voltage circuits and a wide temperature range, making it ideal for many situations.
