Silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs) require a stable reverse-bias voltage and a low-noise signal interface for meaningful characterization. A laboratory setup made from separate power supplies, current meters, bias resistors, and amplifier modules is difficult to reproduce and can introduce wiring errors, noise, and uncertain voltage drops.

This project combines those functions into one reusable characterization board for the Broadcom AFBR-S4N66P014M NUV-MT SiPM. The board is intended to support measurement of breakdown voltage, gain, photon detection efficiency, dark count rate, optical…
