Application hints:

- Current should be limited by a protecting resistor or current limiting - IC inside the power supply
- For low light level applications blocking of ambient light should be used
- For high gain applications bias voltage should be temperature compensated
- Please consider basic ESD protection while handling
- Use low noise read-out - IC
- For further questions please refer to document "Instructions for handling and processing"
- Optimum gain: 50-60
