Notes:
1. Derate linearly as shown in Figure 4.
2. For long term performance with minimal light output degradation, drive currents between 10 mA and 30 mA are recommended.
For more information on recommended drive conditions, please refer to Application Brief I-024 (5966-3087E).
3. Please contact your Avago Technologies sales representative about operating currents below 10 mA.
