This paper presents the total ionizing dose test results at different biases and dose rates for AD9233,which is fabricated using a modern CMOS process. The experimental results show that the digital parts are more sensitive than the other parts. Power down is the worst-case bias, and this phenomenon is first found in the total ionizing dose effect of analog-to-digital converters. We also find that the AC as well as DC parameters are sensitive to the total ionizing dose at a high dose rate, whereas none of the parameters are sensitive at a low dose rate. The test facilities, results and analysis are presented in detail.
