Timing optimization of a H-tree based digital silicon photomultiplier

The Digital Silicon Photomultiplier

The Silicon Photomultipliers (SiPMs) are the new step in the development of the mod‐ ern detection structures in the area of low photon flux detection with a unique capa‐ bility of detection up to the single photons. The Silicon Photomultiplier intrinsically represents a digital signal source on the elementary cell level. The materials and tech‐ nology of SiPMs are consistent with the modern el...

Neutron generator burst timing measured using a pulse shape discrimination plastic scintillator with silicon photomultiplier readout

An EJ-299-34 plastic scintillator with silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) readout was used to measure the fast neutron output of a pulsed Thermo-Fisher A-325 Deuterium-Tritium sealed tube neutron generator (STNG). The SiPM signals were handled by a prototype digital pulse processing system, based on a free-running analogue to digital converter feeding a digital signal processor (DSP). Pulse shape d...

Signal Driven Multiplexing of Silicon Photomultiplier Arrays

SensL C-, Jand R-Series SiPM sensors have a fast, capacitively coupled output that gives a high speed output signal, which is suitable for timing applications. Summing the fast output directly is not recommended as this would negatively affect the resulting signal. By introducing a diode pair (fast Schottky) as shown in Figure 1, the Fast signal from the active SiPM is transferred to the Common...

Guaranteeing Silicon Performance with FPGA Timing Models

Intel® timing models provide a simple and easy way to verify the timing of FPGA designs without the need to perform full physical electrical extractions and simulations. The three different operating corners available for 65 nm and newer FPGAs provide a thorough coverage of the time delays within the recommended operating conditions. Introduction How can a designer accurately predict the time d...
