TABLE II.
Trigger schemes, corresponding logical subpixel connections and average number of photons required to generate a timestamp. The last column is the average number of photons required to trigger the pixel due to cumulative trigger probability, assuming photons are evenly irradiated on a pixel (data from dSiPM user manual).
Trigger scheme | Logic connection | Average number of photons to trigger |
---|---|---|
1 | sp1 ∨ sp2 ∨ sp3 ∨ sp4 | 1 |
(sp1 ∨ sp2) ∧ (sp3 ∨ sp4) | ||
2 | ∨ | 2.33 |
(sp1 ∨ sp4) ∧ (sp2 ∨ sp3)a | ||
3 | (sp1 ∨ sp2) ∧ (sp3 ∨ sp4) | 3.0 |
4 | sp1 ∧ sp2 ∧ sp3 ∧ sp4 | 8.33 |
“∧” represents the AND logic while “∨” represents OR logic. sp1 here represents subpixel 1 and so on.
