  • Page 6: 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 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.
  • Page 7: Product Overview

    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.

  • Page 10: Typical Radiation Detection Setup

    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.
  • Page 11: Detector Channels

    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.
  • Page 12: Detector Channel Mapping

    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.
  • Page 13: Preamplifier

    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.
  • Page 14: 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.
