A similar amplifier circuit must be replicated for each SiPM in the tagger microscope. However, microscope readout calls for somewhat different design requirements and operating condition constraints. The following is a brief outline of the demands on the amplifier design:
 +
* adjustable gain, ranging from readout of hundreds of pixels to calibration with single-photon counting
 +
* less than 15% gain variability on transistor beta (h<sub>FE</sub>) parameter
 +
* summing circuit to pool SiPM signals in groups of 5
 +
* minimized pulse duration
 +
* minimized power consumption
