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 SIB2316. For these reasons, the SIB2316 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. -

PC for display or further signal processing. The negative high voltage bias to the SPMArray2s is generated on the SIB2316 and can be trimmed for matching the two arrays. For applications such as PET imaging that require pulse timing pickoff, circuitry included within the high voltage bias generator monitors the total current delivered to the 16 elements of each SPMArray2. -

Page 10: Typical Setup
SPMArray2s are positioned to detect incoming light from a scintillator crystal or optical assembly and connected to the SIB2316 by two FPC cables. The sensor interface board cable connects the 32 detector outputs from the SIB2316 to a Vertilon PhotoniQ IQSP480 or IQSP580 32 channel data acquisition system. The trigger output from the SIB2316 supplies the trigger to the PhotoniQ when coincident pulses exceeding a user-programmed energy threshold are detected on the SPMArray2 devices. -
Page 11: Detector Common Anode Bias
SIB2316 and may cause permanent damage to it or the device itself. The figure below illustrates how the detector bias is applied to a common anode SPMArray2 by the SIB2316. Since the SIB2316 supports up to two SPMArray2s, the board contains two instances of the circuitry shown in the figure. An FPC cable for each SPMArray2 carries the 16 cathode signals and common anode signal to the SIB2316. -
Page 12: Spmarray2 Cathode Connections
Regardless of the connectors used, the 16 cathode signals (IN01 – IN16) from each SPMArray2 are routed on the SIB2316 to SIB connector J3 as shown in Figure 4. The cathode signals from device A are AC coupled and map to inputs P1 through P16 on the connector, and likewise cathode signals from device B are AC coupled and map to inputs P17 through P32. -

) so that only events exceeding the threshold result in a signal on ZSD — all other events are ignored. The energy threshold adjustment to the SIB2316 is provided through the SIB cable so that the user can vary the threshold using the SIB2316 dialog box in the PhotoniQ graphical user interface. -

Page 16: Setup
SPMArray2 Connection Turn off the bias to the SIB2316. Connect an SPMArray2 to channel A of the unit using an FPC cable. Connection to the SIB2316 can be made using either the top side (J1) or bottom side (J9) FPC connector. Reapply the bias and reconfirm that the bias voltage to the detector is correct. - Page 17 User Guide Coincidence Triggering Connect a second SPMArray2 to the channel B FPC connector on the SIB2316. The channel B coincidence LED, LD4 will blink red if particles exceeding the energy threshold are detected. Set the coincidence window to the desired time.
