Silicon Photomultiplier Instrumentation


SiPM System DiagramSiPM Bases: 16-Channel Individual Readout and 4-Channel Charge Division Readout

Our preamplified bases support 4x4, 5x5, 10x10, and 12x12 SiPM arrays from Hamamatsu and SensL. Choose from individual readout or our patent-pending diode-coupled charge division readout.


SiPM Interface Modules

Our Interface Modules power the bases, buffer SiPM signals for an external ADC, and provide an SiPM signal sum to an internal or external discriminator.


16 & 32 Channel Data Acquisition for SiPM Arrays and Photomultipliers

Our 16 and 32 channel simultaneous sampling gated integrators control our Interface Modules and feature a high-performance FPGA with high-speed USB for sustained trigger rates over 1 MHz.
