Abstract
We here propose a voltage conveyor-based sensor interface for silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs). The solution addresses a mixed-mode (voltage/current) design taking advantage from the current-mode approach to increase the response time and the drive capability. This solution, based on a voltage conveyor (VCII) shows very high transimpedance gain that is independent from the bandwidth and is able to work also with a very high input parasitic capacitive impedance.
