SBX Power Board

The power board of each SBX is an all-in-one, point-of-load power system for detectors and the SBX. It powers the entire system from a single 48VDC input by generating all voltages for slope box, preamp, pickoff board and Raspberry Pi. Furthermore, it allows a single detector and its SBX to be run entirely from one PoE (power over ethernet) port, enabling standalone detector operation. It is located on top of the pickoff card inside the SBX.
