The C13365 series are optical measurement modules capable of detecting low level light. These modules consist of an
MPPC, a signal amplifi er circuit, a high-voltage power supply circuit, and a temperature compensation circuit. The photosen-
sitive area is available in two sizes of 1.3 × 1.3 mm and 3 × 3 mm, and the signal output is analog. Modules operate just
by connecting them to an external power supply (±5 V).

When there is a temperature diff erence between a product and the surrounding area in high humidity environment, dew condensation
may occur on the product surface. Dew condensation on the product may cause deterioration in characteristics and reliability.
Note: Exceeding the absolute maximum ratings even momentarily may cause a drop in product quality. Always be sure to use the
product within the absolute maximum ratings.
