DATA SHEET www.onsemi.com Silicon Photomultipliers (SiPM), Low-Noise, Blue-Sensitive C-Series SiPM Sensors The C-Series low-light sensors from onsemi feature an industry-leading low dark-count rate combined with a high PDE. For ultrafast timing applications, C-Series sensors have a fast output that can have a rise time of 300 ps and a pulse width of 600 ps. The C-Series is available in different sensor sizes (1 mm, 3 mm and 6 mm) and packaged in a 4-side tileable surface mount (SMT) package that is compatible with industry standard, lead-free, reflow soldering processes. The C-Series Silicon Photomultipliers (SiPM) form a range of high gain, single-photon sensitive, UV-to-visible light sensors. They have performance characteristics similar to a conventional PMT, while benefiting from the practical advantages of solid-state technology: low operating voltage, excellent temperature stability, robustness, compactness, output uniformity, and low cost. For advice on the usage of these sensors please refer to the Biasing and Readout Application Note. Figure 1.

Each microcell is an avalanche photodiode with its own quench resistor and a capacitively coupled fast output. These microcells are arranged in a close-packed array with all of the like terminals (e.g. all of the anodes) summed together. The array of microcells can thus be considered as a single photodiode sensor with three terminals: anode, cathode and fast output. Circuit schematic of the SensL SiPM microcell, showing details of the Fast Output. SensL SiPM component symbol. Simplified circuit schematic of the SensL� SiPM showing only a 12 microcell example. Typically, SiPM sensors have hundreds or thousands of microcells. Figure 2. Circuit Schematic www.onsemi.com 6 C-Series SiPM Sensors PERFORMANCE Figure 3.

Dark Current versus Voltage and Temperature www.onsemi.com 8 C-Series SiPM Sensors EVALUATION BOARD OPTIONS SMA Biasing Board (MicroFC-SMA-XXXXX) The MicroFC-SMA is a printed circuit board (PCB) that can facilitate the evaluation of the C-Series SMT sensors. The board has three female SMA connectors for connecting the bias voltage, the standard output from the anode and the fast output signal. The output signals can be connected directly to a 50 W-terminated oscilloscope for viewing. The biasing and output signal tracks are laid out in such a way as to preserve the fast timing characteristics of the sensor. The MicroFC-SMA is recommended for users who require a plug-and-play set-up to quickly evaluate C-Series SMT sensors with optimum timing performance. The board also allows the standard output from the anode-cathode readout to be observed at the same time as the fast output. The outputs can be connected directly to the oscilloscope or measurement device, but external preamplification may be required to boost the signal. The table below lists the SMA board connections. The SMA board electrical schematics are available to download in AND9809/D. information is shown in the table below. The SMTPA board electrical schematics are shown in Figure 12 and are available to download in AND9809/D. Figure 10. Pin Adapter Figure 9. SMA Biasing Board Output Vbias Fout Sout MicroFC-SMA-XXXXX Function Positive bias input (cathode) Fast output Standard output (anode) Pin Adapter (MicroFC-SMTPA-XXXXX) The SMT Pin Adapter board (SMTPA) is a small PCB board that houses the SMT sensor and has through-hole pins to allow for use with standard sockets or probe clips. This product is useful for those needing a quick way to evaluate the C-Series SMT sensors without the need for specialist surface-mount soldering. While this is a `quick fix' suitable for many evaluations, it should be noted that the timing performance from this board will not be optimized and if the best possible timing performance is required, the MicroFC-SMA-XXXXX is recommended.
