To study the feasibility of a shallow-depth neutrino detector, a Cosmic Muon Veto Detector (CMVD) is being built around the RPC detector stack at TIFR, Mumbai. The CMVD will use extruded plastic scintillators and wavelength-shifting fibers coupled with silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs). These SiPMs require a very accurate, precise, and stable power supply to maintain stable gain. We developed a bias voltage supply circuit that is capable of supplying \(18-68V\) in 50mV steps and up to about 4mA current. It features digital adjustment and stabilization of output voltage and current monitoring using a microcontroller. This circuit can be easily integrated with the front-end readout electronics of SiPMs.

摘要

To study the feasibility of a shallow-depth neutrino detector, a Cosmic Muon Veto Detector (CMVD) is being built around the RPC detector stack at TIFR, Mumbai. The CMVD will use extruded plastic scintillators and wavelength-shifting fibers coupled with silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs). These SiPMs require a very accurate, precise, and stable power supply to maintain stable gain. We developed a bias voltage supply circuit that is capable of supplying \(18-68V\) in 50mV steps and up to about 4mA current. It features digital adjustment and stabilization of output voltage and current monitoring using a microcontroller. This circuit can be easily integrated with the front-end readout electronics of SiPMs.
