Abstract: This project involved Total Ionizing Dose (TID) tests at the GSFC radiation chamber. The tests were performed using a TLE2022 Bipolar Op Amp as the Device Under Test (DUT). The DUT was subject to a Cobalt 60 source at a Low Dose Rate (LDR). The main values observed were the input bias current, supply current, voltage offset, and current offset. The implication from the results support that the device has characteristics of radiation hardened.
