  • Abstract
    Total dose tests of six different low dropout voltage regulators show sensitivity to both dose rate and bias during exposure. All devices tested exhibited Enhanced Low Dose Rate Sensitivity (ELDRS) and performed worse for the unbiased irradiation condition. Behavior of critical parameters in different dose rate and bias conditions is compared and the impact on hardness assurance methodology is discussed
