RT Journal Article T1 Degradation of instrumentation amplifiers due to the nonionizing energy loss damage A1 Franco Peláez, Francisco Javier A1 Lozano Rogado, Jesús A1 Santos Blanco, José Pedro A1 Agapito Serrano, Juan Andrés AB Tests on instrumentation amplifiers exposed to neutron radiation have been done. The tested devices were commercial instrumentation amplifiers or designed with rad-tol commercial operational amplifiers. The results show changes in frequency behavior, gain, offset voltage, output saturation voltages, and quiescent current. The radiation tolerance is bigger in amplifiers with JFET input stage or with large frequency bandwidth and is smaller if the amplifier has been designed for reducing the power consumption. The IAs built with OPAMPs have a higher tolerance than the commercial ones, but they have disadvantages: high temperature influence, low CMRR, etc. PB IEEE-Inst Electrical Electronics Engineers Inc SN 0018-9499 YR 2003 FD 2003-12 LK https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14352/51327 UL https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14352/51327 LA eng NO © IEEE TNS NO Ministerio de Educación y Ciencia NO CERN DS Docta Complutense RD 25 abr 2025
