Total dose effects on error rates in linear bipolar systems

The Effects of Low Dose-Rate Ionizing Radiation on the Shapes of Transients in the L>M124 Operational Amplifier

“…A subsequent study described the results of pulsed-laser and heavy-ion experiments on the LM124 operational amplifier [2]. The shapes of the SETs at the output of the LM124 are very different from those of the LM139, i.e., some SETs are unipolar with either positive or negative amplitudes, whereas others are bipolar with different amounts of positive and negative contributions.…”

The Role of Feedback Resistors and TID Effects in the ASET Response of a High Speed Current Feedback Amplifier

“…This degradation alters the ASET shapes (amplitude and duration) leading to an increase or decrease the threat to system reliability following radiation exposure. In fact, previous works [3], [4], [6] demonstrated by qualitative explanations that TID causes the recovery straight-line limited by the slew rate of the circuitry to decrease resulting in ASETs with increased durations and amplitudes in some cases. Because of complex architectures of typical analog ICs, detailed circuit analysis can be performed to understand the origins of the disturbance.…”

“…Moreover, the magnitude of the ASET depends on many factors such as the type, threshold energy and location in ICs of the incident particle, the power supply configuration, the amplifier's electrical configuration, the technology process, and the design of integrated transistors (size and doping levels) [8]- [10]. The influence of these factors on the ASET responses was investigated in case of voltage feedback amplifier (VFA) as for LM124 [3], [4], [6], [11] and LM139 [7].…”

Impact of Neutron-Induced Displacement Damage<newline/> on the ATREE Response in LM124 <newline/>Operational Amplifier

“…These studies established that both ASETs and ATREEs responses have a variety of shapes, that depend on amplifier configuration (power supplies, feedback gain), irradiation exposure (TID, ion energy, impacted area, prompt dose level) and on the manufacturing process and designs [2]- [8]. Moreover, a methodology based on the coupling of a large signal model with a Laplace model was proposed in [4] and used in [5]- [8] to simulate both the TID-ASET and TID-ATREE synergistic effects in LM124 opamps.…”
