Abstract

Integrated circuits and methods for deactivating user circuit operation with one or more wide channel sensing transistors biased to an on condition for exposure to total ionizing dose and then to an off condition for measurement and comparison of a leakage current or threshold voltage parameter to a predetermined reference, and a deactivation circuit selectively disables operation of the user circuit if the sensed parameter is greater than or equal to the reference.
