This paper presents the irradiation and the measurement analysis for a commercial antifuse Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) from Microsemi’s Axcelerator family, part number AX250. Following proton and X-ray beam irradiation, at very high dose rate above 1krad/s, the total ionizing dose (TID) first effects were visible around 260 krad (SiO 2), and this threshold value increases at lower radiation dose rates. We expect for most space and accelerator applications that this value will be at leas
