MICROFC-10035-SMT-TR1

The C−Series low-light sensors from ON Semiconductor feature an industry-leading low dark-count rate combined with a high PDE. For ultrafast timing applications, C-Series sensors have a fast output that can have a rise time of 300 ps and a pulse width of 600 ps. The C−Series is available in different sensor sizes (1 mm, 3 mm and 6 mm) and packaged in a 4-side tileable surface mount (SMT) package that is compatible with industry standard, lead-free, reflow soldering processes. An SiPM is formed of a large number (hundreds or thousands) of microcells. Each microcell is an avalanche photodiode with its own quench resistor and a capacitively coupled fast output. These microcells are arranged in a close-packed array.

• less than 40% PDE at 420 nm, and extended sensitivity to 300 nm for improved UV sensitivity
• Ultra-low dark count rates of 30 kHz/mm2
• Exceptional breakdown voltage uniformity of ±250 mV over all C-Series products
• Temperature stability of 21.5 mV/°C
• Ultra-fast rise times of 300 ps with 600 ps pulse width from a unique "fast output" terminal
• Bias voltage of less than 30 V
• Solid state alternative to the legacy PMT for a wide range of applications
• High gain of 106 leads to single photon sensitivity
• Best Vbr uniformity in the industry
