This lecture reviews several design solutions adopted in both analog and digital SiPMs to improve their characteristics, with particular focus on timing and spatial resolution. A brief overview of SiPM technology developed at Fondazione Bruno Kessler (FBK) is given. The problem of optimum timing pickoff is analyzed and the solutions adopted at FBK are described. The main limitations to...

Time-to-digital converters (TDC) are devices which allow, with a certain precision, to digitally represent the time occurred. Their usage spawn over a large number of applications where a precise time time stamp is required. Due to technological progresses, reconfigurable hardware devices (such as FPGAs) have become an attractive platform for implementing low cost and high performances...
