MPPC® modules
C13852 series
(GD type)
Optical measurement modules for very-low-level
light detection, digital output
The C13852 series (GD type) are optical measurement modules capable of detecting low-level light using its built-in TE-cooled
MPPC. It consists of a TE-cooled MPPC, amplifier, comparator circuit, high-voltage power supply circuit, and temperature con-
trol circuit. The photosensitive area is available in two sizes of 1.3 × 1.3 mm and 3 × 3 mm, and the signal output is digital.
The modules operate by supplying an external power supply (±5 V). As this product is compact and lightweight, it is suitable
for integration into devices.

*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.
