Abstract
The output voltages of Buck and Buck-Boost converters, built using IRF250 power MOSFETs, increased with total dose up to 20 Krads(Si). The MOSFET turn-on time was found to increase with total dose. The increased turn-on time of the power MOSFET was found to cause the output voltage of the converters to increase.
