Integrating analog-to-digital converter radiation hardness test technique and results

The integrating ADC CMOS IC radiation hardness tests were performed. Dose rate, total dose and structural damage test techniques and results are presented and analyzed. It was found that low radiation hardness is inherent to an integrating ADC due to its operation principles.
