I thought you guys would get a kick out of something Analog Devices just
sent me when asked about a voltage reference chip apparently damaged by
XRAY inspection:

"Given all the variables that can affect device performance, Analog
Devices, Inc. does not recommend subjecting non-radiation hardened or
tolerant devices to radiation exposure beyond normal background radiation. "


Brilliant, huh? Don't XRAY ANY ADI parts unless they are the tiny subset of
the radiation hardened line!

My expectation is that they would give a dosage range. Silly me....
