The C13368/C13369 series (analog output type) is an optical measurement module with an MPPC array that can detect very-
low-level light. These modules consist of a 16 ch MPPC array, an amplifi er, and a high-voltage power supply circuit. It comes
in two types with different photosensitive areas, 1 × 1 mm and 3 × 3 mm. The signal output type of these MPPC modules is
16 ch analog. You can simply connect an external power supply (±5 V) to use this module.

1:
When there is a temperature difference 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.
