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 SIB864. For this reason, the SIB864 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.
A special current-sense output from the bias interface circuitry is routed to the input of a variable gain preamplifier on the SIB864 to represent the total AC current signal to all 64 SIPM channels. This signal, which is available to the user on an SMB jack, is fed into a user-programmable threshold leading edge discriminator.
SIB864 which is positioned in an optical assembly to detect incoming radiation. The 64 outputs from the SIPM array are routed on the SIB864 to the SIB connectors that connect to a PhotoniQ IQSP482 or IQSP582 multichannel data acquisition system.
The PhotoniQ utilizes DC-coupled high speed transimpedance amplifiers that maintain a DC bias voltage of +0.250 volts on each of its inputs. Because the PA3325-WB-0808 is configured on the SIB864 as a common anode type, 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 positive.
High Voltage Interface The SIB864 employs the interface circuit shown below between the high voltage input connector, J7, and the common anodes of the SiPM array. The monitor output (HVMON) allows the high voltage anode bias to the SIPMs to be indirectly monitored at a reduced voltage level.
SIB864. The preamplifier generates a voltage signal in response to the current signal on its input from any of the 64 SIPMs in the array. This voltage signal is available on an SMB output connector on the SIB864 and is also fed to the input of the discriminator.
The discriminator generates a logic signal when a pulse from the preamplifier exceeds a user-defined threshold. The SIB864 GUI dialog box allows the user to set this threshold between 0 and 50% where 50% is equal to one half of the maximum possible signal amplitude in the discriminator channel.
Test input (for factory use only) Table 3: Connectors Name Function Description STATUS Bicolor (red/green) LED indicator for SIB864 status. SW1: 1-2 DEV ADDR 1:0 Sets the device address for control by the PhotoniQ. Set both switches to “ON”. SW1: 3-4 DEV TYPE 1:0 Sets the device type for control by the PhotoniQ.
SIB Connector Pinout The SIB864 connectors and cables are fully compatible with all Vertilon PhotoniQ systems. For applications utilizing data acquisition systems other than Vertilon’s PhotoniQ series, the pinouts for connectors J1 and J2 are provided in Table 6 as a reference.
