硅光电倍增管基本单元附加相机（SiECA）的开发提供了关于使用SiPM进行未来宇宙射线探测的广泛信息
系统.我们介绍了传感器读出开发的技术方面，利用由Xilinx FPGA控制的Weeroc的Citiroc ASIC芯片来处理和封装事件
来自四个64通道Hamamatsu MPPC S13361阵列，生成128个帧事件，积分时间为2.5 µs（参数基于JEM-EUSO几何结构，但可以轻松调整）。凭借单光子计数能力，SiECA证明SiPM是未来设备中取代多阳极光电倍增管的可行传感器，特别是当高亮度曝光可能对基于MAPMT的系统造成潜在损害时。补充的技术方面，计算和分析方法的传感器阵列表征和深度设备平场。与使用MAPMT的均匀偏置相比，通过通道提供通道偏置，
MPPC阵列的参数允许检测器和信号均匀性的实质性改进。
Development of the Silicon photomultiplier Elementary Cell Add-on camera (SiECA) has provided extensive information regarding the use of SiPMs for future cosmic ray detection
systems. We present the technical aspects of sensor readout development utilizing Citiroc ASIC chips from Weeroc controlled by a Xilinx FPGA to process and package events
from four 64 channel Hamamatsu MPPC S13361 arrays generating 128 frame events with an integration time of 2.5 µs (parameters are based on JEM-EUSO geometry but can be easily adjusted). With single photon counting capability, SiECA proves SiPM are viable sensors to replace Multi-Anode PhotoMultiplier Tubes in future devices, especially when high luminosity exposure is possible potentially damaging MAPMT based systems. Complementary to the technical aspects, computational and analysis methods for sensor array characterization and in depth device flat-fielding are presented. Provided channel by channel biasing, in comparison to uniform biasing with MAPMTs, fine tuning of operating
parameters with MPPC arrays allows for substantial improvements in detector and signal uniformity.
