Abstract :
Some samples of the ISO122 and the ISO124, capacitor-based isolation amplifiers from Texas Instruments, were irradiated in a neutron & gamma environment in order to investigate their tolerance to the total radiation dose. After the experimental data, the most sensitive parameters were the offset voltages, transmission gain and the typical output error. In any case, devices are still operative after receiving 2.2middot1013 1-MeV nmiddotcm-2 & 235 Gy(Si).
