Abstract

This article describes the creation and validation of a custom temperature control board explicitly designed for Skipper-CCD sensors. The board is versatile and can be used in various experimental setups. It consists of two galvanically isolated sections: a control section equipped with a Raspberry Pi and essential instrumentation for measurement and protection, and a power section with a buck converter and additional instrumentation for enhanced protection and monitoring. The seamless integration of these sections provides robust temperature control and comprehensive safeguards against potential issues. Through careful design and extensive experimental validation, the developed board ensures precise thermal management tailored to the unique needs of Skipper-CCD sensors. Its effectiveness has been demonstrated in the OSCURA experiment and can serve as a model for potential applications in other projects.

期刊介绍： HardwareX is an open access journal established to promote free and open source designing, building and customizing of scientific infrastructure (hardware). HardwareX aims to recognize researchers for the time and effort in developing scientific infrastructure while providing end-users with sufficient information to replicate and validate the advances presented. HardwareX is open to input from all scientific, technological and medical disciplines. Scientific infrastructure will be interpreted in the broadest sense. Including hardware modifications to existing infrastructure, sensors and tools that perform measurements and other functions outside of the traditional lab setting (such as wearables, air/water quality sensors, and low cost alternatives to existing tools), and the creation of wholly new tools for either standard or novel laboratory tasks. Authors are encouraged to submit hardware developments that address all aspects of science, not only the final measurement, for example, enhancements in sample preparation and handling, user safety, and quality control. The use of distributed digital manufacturing strategies (e.g. 3-D printing) is encouraged. All designs must be submitted under an open hardware license.
