Muon detection has the advantages such as wide detection range and wide application field, but its miniaturization, low power consumption and expansibility are challenged by the requirements of field detection. With silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) and scintillator as main components, a set of position sensitive readout electronics system, the core system of Muon detector, was developed. The overall structure design of the system was carried out, and the system was divided into front-end acquisition board, data processing board, main control board and power board. The data processing board played a key role in the logic processing of the system function, and achieved the functions such as digital signal discrimination, voltage stabilization compensation, data reporting, etc., by introducing modular and process designs such as noise reduction, time calibration, temperature reading, temperature-voltage conversion, data framing and data transmission. The actual measurement shows that such a system can stably read out the signal data of 400 channels in two layers, and the temperature coefficient of the temperature-voltage curve is 0.021, which is not much different from the specified value of SiPM bias voltage (0.021 5 V/℃) which varies with temperature, thus realizing the environmental temperature compensation. The system meets the requirements of miniaturization, easy expansibility and strong practicability, and provides a flexible solution for Muon detection.
