• Manufacturer Part Number: HDSP-4820
• Description: (HDSP-48xx) 10-Element Bar Graph Array
• Manufacturer: Hewlett-Packard

Electrical/Optical
These versatile bar graph arrays
are composed of ten light emit-
ting diodes. The light from each
LED is optically stretched to form
individual elements. The Red
(HDSP-4820) bar graph array
LEDs use a p-n junction diffused
into a GaAsP epitaxial layer on a
GaAs substrate. The AlGaAs Red
(HLCP-J100) bar graph array
LEDs use double heterojunction
AlGaAs on a GaAs substrate. HER
(HDSP-4830) and Yellow (HDSP-
4840) bar graph array LEDs use
a GaAsP epitaxial layer on a GaP
substrate. Green (HDSP-4850)
bar graph array LEDs use liquid
phase GaP epitaxial layer on a
GaP substrate. The multicolor bar
graph arrays (HDSP-4832/4836)
have HER, Yellow, and Green
LEDs in one package.
These displays are designed for
strobed operation. The typical
forward voltage values can be
scaled from Figures 5 and 11.
These values should be used to
calculate the current limiting
resistor value and typical power
consumption. Expected maxi-
mum V
design and maximum power
dissipation may be calculated
using the V

values for driver circuit

Figures 4 and 10 allow the
designer to calculate the
luminous intensity at different
peak and average currents. The
following equation calculates
intensity at different peak and
