There is provided a readout circuit (100) for a Silicon Photomultiplier (SiPM; 200). The photomultiplier (SiPM; 200) has a first main output (Sout) and a capacitively coupled second output (Fout). The readout circuit (100) comprises a combiner (110) having inputs (IN1, IN2) for receiving signals originating from the first main output (Sout) and the second output (Fout) of the Silicon Photomultiplier (SiPM; 200) and configured to generate a combined signal based on the received signals. A first signal path is defined between the first main output (Sout) and a first one (IN1) of the inputs of the combiner (110). A second signal path is defined between the second output (Fout) and a second one (IN2) of the inputs of the combiner (110). The readout circuit (100) further comprises circuitry (120) arranged in at least one of the first signal path and the second signal path and configured to at least partially provide isolation between the first main output (Sout) and the second output (Fout) of the Silicon Photomultiplier (SiPM; 200) during operation.
A readout circuit for a Silicon Photomultiplier, SiPM, said Silicon Photomultiplier, SiPM, having a first main output as well as a capacitively coupled second output, wherein said readout circuit comprises:
