“…The use of such ICs in portable applications, where the number of SiPM array elements does not exceed nine, is not effective, because they have excessive power consumption and functionality. Known application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) for the portable devices [30] do not provide a comprehensive solution of the problem of readout, analog processing and analog-todigital conversion signals of SiPM arrays. To solve this problem a chipset of two ASICs -analog and mixed-signal has been designed and manufactured.…”

We present an Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC), which is intended for readout and analog processing of silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) arrays' signals. The number of channels of the analog front-end ASIC as well as the types of their input stages depends on the application. The current version of the chip contains three current-input channels and three voltage-input channels. Each of the channels includes a programmable pre-amplifier, integrator with baseline holder, code-controlled amplifiers, amplitude discriminator, two programmable timers, low pass filter, peak detector, and output buffer with the baseline tuning circuitry. The device uses a serial interface for programming its configuration and parameters. It is implemented in 0.35 m CMOS technology.
