Characterization and Analyses of RadHard-by-Design CMOS Quad Operational Amplifiers

This paper describes total ionizing dose and single event effects data for CMOS operational amplifiers implemented using RadHard-By-Design (RHBD) design and layout techniques. i.e., edgeless nMOSFETs, fully isolating guard rings, and robust circuit topology. This work is part of Aeroflex's larger effort to provide a complete family of radiation hardened analog function components.
