Notes:
1. White Fluorescent light (Color Temperature = 6200K) is used as light source.
2. Luminance by CIE standard illuminant-A/2856K,incandescet lamp.
3. Sunlight (Color Temperature = 4600K) is used as light source.
4. Excess driving current and / or operating temperature higher than recommended conditions may result in severe light degradation or premature failure.
Notes:
1. The output voltage (Vout) is the product of photocurrent (IPH) and loading resistor (RL)
2. A right loading resistor shall be chosen to meet the requirement of maximum ambient light, and
Output saturation voltage:
Vout (max) = lout (max.) XRL Vout (saturation) = Vcc-0.3V
