Purchase List Corrections #5

Open johnddias opened 6 years ago

johnddias commented 6 years ago

Hi, I noted something on the purchase list that I thought I would bring to your attention.

Line 24 shows a description for the booster that is different than the part number given. In fact, the SMT_reference.xlsx shows this should be LT3461A. I ended up ordering the wrong part due to the description (my fault for not double checking!).

Also, FYI that SENSL offers the SiPM at a discount for Cosmic Watch builders ($60 versus $119) - http://sensl.com/estore/muon60035/

Hi,

Thanks for the note. The LT3461A runs at 3MHz, whereas the LT3461 is 1.3MHz. I’ve used both and haven’t been able to notice a difference in the noise/ripple. It actually looks like LT might have stopped selling the 1.3MHz version.

I’ll update the purchasing list though.

Thanks,

Spencer

Oh good, I'll install the LT3461 then since I have it on hand. Thanks.
