- Power Supply and Amplification Unit (PSAU):
- Variable amplification gain (6x up to 80x)
- Low noise, not to spoil the sensor performance for small signals
- Wideband, to comply with the fast sensor response
- LOGIc Box (LOGIX):
- Threshold controller = MAX5230, 12 bit resolution on a 0 ÷ 2.5 V range
- Output signals = TTL
- Veto system to avoid random concurrencies
- Ultra-fast LED driver:
- yellow (590 nm) and blue (430 nm) colors
- 1300 mcd (yellow) and 21000 mcd (blue) output power
- 1.3 ÷ 1.5 ns Rise time of pulse
- 3 ÷ 60 ns Width of pulse

Overview |
|
Silicon PhotoMultiplier Development Kit is a modular development kit dedicated to Silicon Photomultipliers, representing the state-ofthe-art in low light field detection with photon number resolving capabilities.
The kit comprises:
• A Power Supply and Amplification Unit (PSAU), integrating the SiPM in a mother & daughter architecture allowing easy mounting and replacement of the sensor. The basic configuration features two channels, with customization options.
• A CAEN Desktop Waveform digitizer (Mod. DT5720), housing 4 channel 12 bit 250 MS/s ADC with dedicated integration modalities.
• An ultra-fast LED with pulse width at ns level, tunable intensity and width, to provide a low-cost tool for the detector characterization.
• A plastic scintillating tile, with light collected by a fiber, FC terminated and ready-to-mount on the two sensor GPA & LOGIX. The tile, with a sensitive volume of 100 x 100 x 10 mm3, is the ideal tool for tests with beta emitting isotopes and cosmic rays.
• A mini-spectrometer for gamma ray detection, built around the daughter board of the GPA in an easy handling set-up.
Upon request, sensors from the main producers can be provided, fully integrated in the frontend.
The kit was developed within the EC-FP6 project RAPSODI (contract no. 32993), licensed to CAEN by the Research & Technology Development parties and finalized in a joint project.
The scintillator tile is produced by ITEP-Moscow for CAEN.
