  • Abstract
    The dose rate dependence of the current noise of a bipolar operational amplifier is presented. Total current noise performance degrades linearly with increasing dose rate. Generation-recombination, white and 1/f spectral components contribute to the degradation. The generation-recombination component is the most significant contributor to dose rate dependent current noise degradation.
