    Abstract: An imager tile including four-side buttable sub-imager pixel arrays with on-chip digitizing electronic readout circuit. Pixel groupings formed from among the plurality of imagers. Readout electronics including a buffer amplifier for each of the pixel groupings are connected to respective outputs of buttable imagers. Shared analog front ends connect to respective buffer amplifiers of pixel groupings. An analog-to-digital converter at a common centroid location relative to the shared analog front ends includes three data lines - selection input/output line to individually select an output, a clock input line, and a shared digital output line. A pixel output from a respective buffer amplifier is addressable by data provided on the selection input/output line, and the pixel output is provided on the shared digital output line. The I/O lines connected to a programmable logic device where the imager serial data input is output as a massively parallel data stream.

    Abstract: A silicon photomultiplier includes a plurality of microcells providing a pulse output in response to an incident radiation, each microcell including circuitry configured to enable and disable the pulse output. Each microcell includes a cell disable switch. The control logic circuit controls the cell disable switch and a self-test circuit. A microcell's pulse output is disabled when the cell disable switch is in a first state. A method for self-test calibration of microcells includes providing a test enable signal to the microcells, integrating dark current for a predetermined time period, comparing the integrated dark current to a predetermined threshold level, and providing a signal if above the predetermined threshold level.
