Designed for Vikas Vinayaka
About
·
This PCB was designed to
test the north side of the voyager chip designed by Vikas Vinayaka. The chip
was created in the AMS SiGe 0.35um BiCMOS process and the main circuits on it are an APD
(avalanche photodiode) and a SiPM (silicon
photomultiplier). More information about the chip can be found on Vikas’s Voyager
page.
·
This is the first legitimate
PCB design that Daniel created using the Eagle software. Vikas and Bryan Kerstetter guided Daniel by offering useful tips and
advice.
·
Once the PCB was received
from manufacturing, Daniel soldered and populated the board. The finished board
can be seen on Daniel’s PCB Assembly page.
