Several irradiation tests of the electronics of the CMS barrel muon detector were performed using neutrons, protons and heavy ions. The Single Event Upset rate on some tested devices was measured, while upper limits were obtained for devices having experienced no failure. Single Event Transients on front-end electronics and destructive effects on the High-voltage distribution electronics were observed. Overcurrent protection and error correction circuits were included in the irradiated boards and were tested. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
