User Guide General Safety Precautions Use Proper Power Source The SIB71256 is powered with a +12V power source. Use with any other power source may result in damage to the product. Operate Inputs within Specified Range To avoid electric shock, fire hazard, or damage to the product, do not apply a voltage to any input outside of its specified range.
PMT’s 256 anode signals and last dynode output to the board. The high voltage bias to the PMT is supplied separately on its own cable and thus never reaches the SIB71256. The anode signals are routed to an on-board resistive anger logic circuit that generates four anger signal outputs.
Typical Setup A typical setup using a SIB71256 is shown below. The Hamamatsu H13700 MAPMT is mounted to the SIB71256 and positioned to detect incoming light from a scintillator crystal or optical assembly. The four anger logic outputs from the SIB71256 connect to four inputs on a PhotoniQ IQSP418 / IQSP518 multichannel PMT data acquisition system.
Photomultiplier Tube Anode Circuit The 256 anode signals (P1 – P256) from the H13700 MAPMT are routed directly on the SIB71256 to the resistive anger logic circuit shown in the figure below. Each anger signal is amplified by high speed inverting preamplifiers and output on the SMB connectors on the four corners of the printed circuit board.
SIB17256 Sensor Interface Board for Hamamatsu H13700 MAPMT Anger Logic Position information is obtained from the SIB71256 anger logic circuit using the formulas below to determine the X and Y coordinates. = (V – V – V ) / (V = (V –...
Last Dynode Output The last dynode of the H13700 is directly connected on the SIB71256 to a non-inverting preamplifier whose output is available on an SMB connector. A miniature rotary switch allows the user to select between one of two gain settings. The last dynode output is typically used with an external discriminator for generating a trigger signal to data acquisition electronics or a time-to-digital converter (TDC) for determining time of arrival or coincidence detection.
