In this paper we show the energy and timing resolution performances of FBK SiPMs coupled to the PETA3 ASIC for PET application. We developed a measurement set-up to characterize single SiPMs coupled to scintillator exploiting the detector stack developed within the HYPERImage project. In this way we are able to characterize the combined SiPM/ASIC performance with the same signal chain (from the sensor to the ASIC board) used in the PET system. We show that using two scintillator detectors, composed of a 3x3x5mm^3 LYSO crystal coupled to a 3x3mm^2 SiPM, an intra-stack CRT of about 200ps FWHM can be obtained.
