As a protective measure, these photodiodes are packaged in the Bulk. To ensure safety, photodiodes are put into Side View packages. A continuous reverse-bias voltage of 10V should be maintained for the photodiodes. Photodiodes have pins 2. Reverse-bias photodiodes can provide 10V voltages. A photodiode occurs even at 3pA current without light input.
