MPPC® modules
C15524 series
Optical measurement modules for low-level light
detection, flexible cable type, analog output
The C15524 series are optical measurement modules capable of detecting low-level light using its built-in MPPC that features
wide dynamic range. These modules consist of an MPPC, an amplifier, a high-voltage power supply circuit, and a temperature
compensation circuit. The photosensitive area is available in two sizes: 1.3 × 1.3 mm and 3 × 3 mm. The signal output is
analog. The modules operate just by connecting them to an external power supply (±5 V).

*1: When there is a temperature differance 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 deteration 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.
