  • Page 7: General Safety Precautions

    To avoid electric shock, fire hazard, or damage to the product, do not apply a voltage to any input outside of its specified range. Electrostatic Discharge Sensitive Electrostatic discharges may result in damage to the SIB416. For this reason, the SIB416 board is intended to be operated in a user’s conductive instrument enclosure. Do Not Operate in Wet or Damp Conditions To avoid electric shock or damage to the product, do not operate in wet or damp conditions.

  • Page 8: Product Overview

    PhotoniQ where it can be enabled and configured through the PhotoniQ graphical user interface. A special current-sense output from the bias interface circuitry is sent to a variable gain preamplifier on the SIB416 to represent the total AC charge signal measured by all four MPPC arrays. This signal, which is available to the user on an SMB jack, is fed into a user-programmable threshold leading edge discriminator.

  • Page 11: Typical Setup

    The SIB416 supports up to four Hamamatsu S11064 multi-pixel photon counter devices. The devices are attached to the SIB416 as shown in the figure on the following page. If one device is used, the MPPC is plugged into the receptacle pin pattern in the center of the board.

  • Page 12: Detector Channels

    IQSP580 can be used instead. The PhotoniQ utilizes DC-coupled high speed transimpedance amplifiers that maintain a DC bias voltage of +0.25 volts on each of its inputs. Because the S11064 devices are operated on the SIB416 in common anode arrangement, the current polarity to the PhotoniQ preamplifiers is out of the inputs. For this reason, the Input Polarity under the Data Configuration menu in the PhotoniQ GUI should be set to the default value of positive.

  • Page 13: High Voltage Interface

    High Voltage Interface The SIB416 employs the interface circuit shown below between the high voltage input connector, J3, and the anodes of the individual SiPMs on the S11064 devices. The monitor output (HVMON) allows the high voltage anode bias to the MPPCs to be indirectly monitored at a reduced voltage level.

  • Page 14: Preamplifier

    SIB416. The preamplifier generates a voltage signal in response to the current signal on its input from any of the 64 SiPMs from the 2 x 2 array of MPPCs. This voltage signal is available on an SMB output connector on the SIB416 and is also fed to the input of the discriminator.

  • Page 15: Discriminator

    The discriminator generates a logic signal when a pulse from the preamplifier exceeds a user-defined threshold. The SIB416 GUI dialog box allows the user to set this threshold between 0 and 100% where 100% is equal to the maximum possible signal amplitude in the discriminator channel. When a pulse is detected, the trigger output from the board becomes active.
