Total Ionizing Dose Effects in High-Speed 16-bit Analog-to-Digital Converter

The paper presents the research results of Total Ionizing Dose (TID) Effects in high-speed (80 MSPS) analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The article incorporates the description of the equipment for parametric control of the device under test and methodology for measuring ADC characteristics. The article also presents pre-irradiation graphs of integral non-linearity (INL), differential non-linearity (DNL), amplitude spectrum and its degradation during exposure. With regard to findings of the study was determined the most critical operation mode of the Device Under Test (DUT) during irradiation and the most TID sensitive parameter.
