Electronic Instrumentation

Electronic systems have made deep inroads into every aspect of daily life. One need only look around homes, offi ces and industrial plants to see that they feature almost everywhere. Indeed, it is practically impossible to name any appliances, tools or instruments that do not contain electronic components. In order to compete with rival...

A 4 X 4 X 416 digital SiPM array with 192 TDCs for multiple high-resolution timestamp acquisition

We present a 4 X 4 array of digital silicon photomultipliers (D-SiPMs) capable of timestamping up to 48 photons per D-SiPM and we show the advantage of generating multiple timestamps in the context of positron emission tomography (PET). The D-SiPMs have a pitch of 800 ?m and comprise 416 pixels each; the timing resolution achieved by the SiPMs...
