Enhanced Timepix3 chipboard for operation in vacuum and back-side-pulse spectroscopy

The Timepix3 single particle counting detector is a high-end technology measurement device in the field of the particle detection and measurement. However, a detector itself does not comprises all necessities to perform a precise result measurement at all times. A supporting electronics also takes a very important role in final results. On the first hand, it possesses a powerful tool, on the other hand, it also suffers from side effects given by high-performance electronics technology used. Side effect like an overheating issue, strict requirements on powering, etc. are quite liming in some applications. All these specific properties have to be taken into account during the initial phase of the electronic design. The paper presents one solution of the enhanced Timepix3 chipboard. The re-design of the former standard chipboard is described. It also describes newly designed and implemented features that open a new way in detector application, e.g. vacuum operation, extended spectroscopy abilities.
