Abstract

This paper discusses the impact of total ionizing dose (TID) on basic amplifier stages that are biased right above the device threshold voltages. Existing TID degradation-aware transistor models have been leveraged in circuit simulations. The simulation methodology is developed to account for operating currents comparable to TID-induced leakage currents. It is shown that depending on the TID level, a DC input voltage level can be found for which performance characteristics such as the voltage gain can be retained to be similar in pre-and post-irradiation conditions.
