PIN ADAPTER BOARD (MICRORB−SMTPA−100XX)

The Pin Adapter board (SMTPA) is a small PCB board

that houses the SIPM sensor and has through-hole pins to

allow its use with standard sockets or probe clips. This

product is useful for those needing a quick way to evaluate

the MLP-packaged sensor 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

MICRORB−SMA−100XX is recommended. The SMTPA

circuit schematic is shown below. Please consult the Biasing

and Readout Application Note for further information on

biasing. The SMTPA board electrical schematics are

available to download in the Board Reference Design

document.
