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 SIB332B. For these reasons, the SIB332B 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.
S8550 4 x 8 element APD array and external signal processing electronics such as Vertilon’s PhotoniQ multichannel data acquisition systems. The S8550 is mounted to the bottom side of the SIB332B through 34 socket pins that connect the APD array’s 32 anode signals and two common cathodes to the board. The anode signals are routed to a connector located on the top of the board that connects to a specialized high density coaxial cable assembly.
User Guide Typical Setup In a typical setup the Hamamatsu S8550 array is plugged into the SIB332B Sensor Interface Board (SIB) which in turn connects to a Vertilon PhotoniQ IQSP480 or IQSP580 multi-channel data acquisition system using a SIB cable. Positive bias to the APD array is supplied and controlled by an external power supply through a specialized high voltage cable.

APD Array Anode Circuits The 32 anode signals (AN1 – AN32) from the S8550 APD array are DC-coupled on the SIB332B to a specialized connector (J1) referred to as the sensor interface board (SIB) connector. The SIB connector mates to a proprietary low- noise, high density SIB cable assembly that carries the 32 anode signals on coaxial connections to a Vertilon PhotoniQ 32 channel charge integrating data acquisition system.

The SIB332B connectors and cables are fully compatible with all Vertilon PhotoniQ systems. For applications utilizing data acquisition systems other than Vertilon’s PhotoniQ series, the pinout for connector J1 is provided in Table 2 as a reference. Note some signals available from the PhotoniQ are unused on the SIB332B.
