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.
  • AD7314 temperature sensor

      • indicates ±1°C accuracy
      • should make compatible with 3.3V CMOS logic
  • AD7928 ADC

  • CP2201 Ethernet
    • AV+ analog supply
    • VDD1 digital supply
    • VDD2 digital supply
  • FPGA
    • VCCAUX auxiliary supply
      • Can also operate at +2.5V
    • VCCO I/O logic supply
      • Makes it compatible with 3.3V CMOS logic
      • Puts it within acceptable range of voltages for communication with other ICs
  • XCF01S EEPROM
    • VCCINT internal supply
    • VCCO output driver
      • Matches 3.3V I/O on FPGA
    • VCCJ JTAG output driver
      • Are we using this?

    • AVCC analog supply pins
    • DVCC digital supply pins
  • AD7928 ADC
    • AVDD pins
      • indicates measuring range of 0 to 2xREF_IN voltage

+1.2V supply

Use for:

  • FPGA
    • VCCINT internal logic supply

+2.5V supply

Use for:

  • AD7928 ADC
    • REF_IN reference supply
      • Must be accurate to ±1%


+5V supply

Use for:

Suggested AD5535 power supply connections taken from AD5535 data sheet.
  • AD5535 DAC
    • V+ amplifier supply pins
    • AVCC analog supply pins
    • DVCC digital supply pins
  • AD7928 ADC
    • AVDD pins
      • indicates measuring range of 0 to 2xREF_IN voltage

-5V supply

Use for:

  • AD5535 DAC
    • V- amplifier supply pins

+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.
