Abstract

This paper describes some design challenges and trade-offs faced by CMOS integrated circuits and switched mode power supplies in a radiation environment as it is common in space applications. Circuit techniques to ensure radiation hardening are described. The power converter design constraints are identified and some solutions are suggested for a multiple output converter.
