Abstract

Based on a detailed study of the radiation tolerance of high-voltage transistors, 2 commercial CMOS technologies have been selected for the design of synchronous buck DCDC converter ASICs. Three prototype converters have been produced, embedding increasingly sophisticated functions. The electrical and radiation performance of these prototypes is presented.
