Greetings.

I have an application where my company will be placing an overhead crane inside a room with high radiation. I have the radiation tolerances on practically everything on this crane except the Remote I/O. Any information regarding the radiation tolerance of anything similar (small electrical chips) would be helpful.

Thanks !

If they're not specifically radiation-hardened, then they'll probably die after about 1000 to 10000 rads(Si). Any memory chips will probably die faster.
