ArrayC Series
Silicon Photomultiplier
(SiPM) 4-Side Scaleable
Arrays
ON Semiconductor’s range of C-Series, SMT (surface mount
technology) SiPM sensors have been used to create compact and
scaleable arrays. The sensors are mounted onto PCB boards with
minimal dead space. The ArrayC products are available in a variety of
formats, and formed of pixels of different sizes. Details of the arrays
available are given in the
Ordering Information
table on page 29 of
this document.
The back of each ArrayC has either one or more multi-way
connectors, or a BGA (ball grid array), that allow access to the fast
output* and
standard
I/O from each pixel in the array, and a
common
I/O from the summed substrates of the pixels. The ArrayC products
with connectors can be used to interface with the user’s own readout
via the mating connector, or to ON Semiconductor’s Breakout Boards
(BOBs). The BOBs allow for easy access to the pixel signals and
performance evaluation of the arrays.
ArrayC products with the BGA can be reflow soldered to the user’s
readout boards, or purchased ready-mounted on an Evaluation Board
(EVB) for easy testing. The BGA ArrayC products cannot be removed
from their EVBs. This contrasts with an ArrayC that has connectors,
where multiple arrays can be evaluated with a single BOB.

Figure 1 summarizes the array schematic for a portion of an ArrayC.
Each SiPM sensor in the array has three electrical connections: fast
output*, standard output and common.
The substrates (cathodes) of all sensors are summed together to
form the common I/O.
Each individual fast output* and standard I/O (anode) are routed to
its own output pin.
The pixel-level performance of the sensors in the array can be found
in the
C-Series
datasheet.

ATTENTION!
Great care should be taken when disconnecting the
ArrayC PCBs from the mating connectors, either on one
of the BOBs, or the user’s own boards.
The board should be gently levered up, working
progressively around the board to lever the PCB from the
connector a little on all sides, and then repeating the
process until the connectors are free from each other.
Note that a BGA ArrayC cannot be removed from its EVB.

ARRAYC-60035-4P-BGA - Solder Footprint and Reflow
Solder Profile
The BGA package is compatible with standard reflow
solder processes (J-STD-20) and so is ideal for high-volume
manufacturing. The ARRAYC-60035-4P-BGA should be
mounted according to specified soldering pad patterns, as
given in of the
CAD file.
Solder paste (we recommend using no-clean solder paste)
must be evenly applied to each soldering pad to insure
proper bonding and positioning of the array. After soldering,
allow at least three minutes for the component to cool to
room temperature before further operations.
Solder reflow conditions must be in compliance with
J-STD-20, table 5.2. This is summarized in Figure 2. The
number of passes should not be more than 2.

ARRAYC-60035-4P-GEVB
(ARRAYC-60035-4P-BGA Evaluation Board)
The ARRAYC-60035-4P-GEVB is an evaluation board
allowing easy access to the signals of a ARRAYC-60035-
4P-BGA via pins.
The ARRAYC-60035-4P-GEVB has the array on the
front and pins on the back of the PCB. The pins are
compatible with a standard 8-pin DIL socket for evaluation
purposes. Alternatively, the pins can be directly soldered
into through-holes in the user’s readout PCB. Four of the
pins are connected to the anodes of the individual pixels and
the other four pins are connected to the common cathode. An
example

is
the
110-93-308-41-001000 from Mill-Max.
The GEVB PCB is slightly smaller than the actual array,
allowing for tiling.
The GEVB does NOT provide access to the fast output.
