abstract = {Silicon Photomultipliers (SiPMs) are state-of-the-art
photon detectors used in particle physics, medical imaging,
and beyond. They are sensitive to individual photons in the
optical wavelength regime and achieve time resolutions of a
few tens of picoseconds, which makes them interesting
candidates for timing detectors in tracking systems for
particle physics experiments. The Geiger discharges
triggered in the sensitive elements of a SiPM, Single-Photon
Avalanche Diodes (SPADs), yield signal amplitudes
independent of the energy deposited by a photon or ionizing
particle. This intrinsically digital nature of the signal
motivates its digitization already on SPAD level. A digital
SiPM (dSiPM) was designed at Deutsches Elektronen
Synchrotron (DESY), combining a SPAD array with embedded
CMOS circuitry for on-chip signal processing. A key feature
of the DESY dSiPM is its capability to provide hit-position
information on pixel level, and one hit time stamp per
quadrant at a 3 MHz readout-frame rate. The pixels comprise
four SPADs and have a pitch of about 70 μm. The four time
stamps are provided by 12 bit Time-to-Digital Converters
(TDCs) with a resolution better than 100 ps. The chip was
characterized in the laboratory to determine dark count
rate, breakdown voltage, and TDC characteristics. Test-beam
measurements are analyzed to assess the DESY dSiPMs
performance in the context of a 4D-tracking applications.
The results demonstrate a spatial hit resolution on a pixel
level, a minimum-ionizing particle detection efficiency of
about 30 $\%$ and a time resolution in the order of 50 ps.},
