Features & Applications

Features:

  • Pixel size 55μm x 55μm
  • 256 x 256 pixels
  • Timepix3 is suitable for readout of both semiconductor detectors and gas-filled detectors
  • Single thresholds per pixel each with 4 bits of local adjustment
  • Two main measurement modes: (1) simultaneous 10 bit ToT and 18 bit TOA and (2) 10 bit event counting and 14 bit integral TOT
  • TOT monotonic for large positive charges
  • Fast TOA for time stamping with a precision of 1.56 ns
  • Data driven readout: dead time free, for a maximum hit rate of 40 Mhits/s/cm^2
  • Shutdown/wake-up features for power pulsing tests on a full system
  • 3-side buttable (with a single 1.2mm dead edge)
  • TSV ready

Applications:

  • X-rays imaging
  • Particle track reconstruction.
  • Timepix3 is suitable for readout of both semiconductor detectors and gas-filled detectors.
