Popis: This paper shows a customized MGy radiation tolerant instrumentation amplifier. The 65 nm CMOS-based ASIC amplifier has an offset smaller than 1 µV and a noise level below 50 nV/√Hz from DC. It consumes less than 5 mW and has a common-mode-rejection-ratio larger the 100 dB. In addition, it allows a programmable gain setting from 8,16,32,64,128 to 256. The performance of this instrumentation amplifier was monitored during an on-line radiation experiment up to a total ionizing dose larger than 1 MGy, enabling the read-out of the most common nuclear temperature and position sensors.
