| Abstract | Silicon Photo-Multipliers (SiPM) are regarded as novel photo-detectors to replace conventional Photo Multiplier Tubes (PMTS). However, the breakdown voltage dependence on the ambient temperature results in a gain variation of similar to 3%/degrees C. This severely limits the application of this device in experiments with wide range of operating temperature, especially in space missions. An experimental setup was established to investigate the temperature and bias voltage dependence of gain for the Multi-Pixel Photon Counter (MPPC). The gain and breakdown voltage dependence on operating temperature of an MPPC can be approximated by a linear function, which is similar to the behavior of a zener diode. The measured temperature coefficient of the breakdown voltage is (59.4 0.4 mV)/degrees C. According to this fact, an analog power supply based on two zener diodes and an operational amplifier was designed with a positive temperature coefficient. The measured temperature dependence for the designed power supply is between 63.65-64.61 mV/degrees C at different output voltages. The designed power supply can bias the MPPC at an over-voltage with a temperature variation of similar to 5 mV/degrees C. The gain variation of the MPPC biased at over-voltage of 2 V was reduced from 2.8%/degrees C to 0.3%/degrees C when biased the MPPC with the designed power supply for gain control. Detailed design and performance of the analog power supply in the temperature range from similar to 42.7 degrees C to 20.9 degrees C will be discussed in this paper. |
