As seen in the SiPM digital control board netlist, the ICs on the control board have many different power requirements. In total there are 6 different voltages required. To minimize the number of actual power supplies needed, however, we plan on supplying only +5V, -5V, and +210V to the board from external power supplies. The other voltages will be created by appropriate voltage regulator ICs on the control board.
+5V supply
The +5V supply is responsible for powering most of the components on the control board. Here is a breakdown of those components by their voltage requirements. Voltages less than +5V will be created using voltage regulators
ICs requiring +5V
IC Name | Pin Name | Tolerance | Current Requirements | Description | Notes |
AD5535 | V+ | ±0.25V | 0.5mA typ, 1mA max | Positive amplifier | |
AD5535 | AVCC | ±0.25V | 15mA typ, 18mA max | Analog supply | |
AD7928 | AVDD | ±0.25V | 2.7mA max operating | AVDD can be as low as 2.7V if voltages measured never exceed 2.5V |
ICs requiring +3.3V
IC Name | Pin Name | Tolerance | Current Requirements | Description | Notes |
AD5535 | ANODE | large | set by external resistor | Temperature sensing diode | Diode drop varies w/ temperature. Requires external current limiting resistor. |
AD5535 | REF_IN | ~±0.4V | 1.25uA max | Reference voltage | Should be as high as possible but not exceed AVCC-1.15V |
AD7314 | VDD | ±0.3V | 1.2mA typ operating | Indicates ±1°C precision | |
AD7928 | VDRIVE | ??? CMOS logic tolerance | 200uA | Logic output driver | |
CP2201 | AV+ | ±0.3V | ??? | Analog supply pin | |
CP2201 | VDD1 | ±0.3V | 75mA typ, 155mA max operating | Digital supply pin | |
CP2201 | VDD2 | ±0.3V | 75mA typ, 155mA max operating | Digital supply pin |
+3.3V supply
Use for:
- AD5535 DAC
- ANODE
- Used for temperature monitoring. Voltage drop across a temperature sensitive diode allows AD7928 to measure internal temperature of AD5535. External resistor on AD5535 CATHODE will help to limit current draw.
- REF_IN supply
- Using +3.3V for REF_IN limits the SiPM amplifier bias voltages to a maximum of 165V. If greater variability is needed (up to +200V max), a separate +4V supply can be used for REF_IN, perhaps taken from the +5V rail via a voltage divider.

-5V supply

+210V supply
Use for:
- AD5535 DAC
- VPP high voltage supply
- Using this high voltage will allow for large adjustments of the SiPM amplifier bias voltages. Large variations may be necessary because the MATLAB model showed that adjustments between 0 and +50V had no effect on the SiPM.
