In preparation of the operation of the CMS electromagnetic calorimeter (ECAL) barrel at the High Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC) the entire on-detector electronics will be replaced. The new readout electronics comprises 12240 very front end (VFE), 2448 front end (FE) and low voltage regulator (LVR) cards arranged into readout towers (RTs) of five VFEs, one FE and one LVR card. The results of testing one RT of final prototype cards at CERNs CHARM mixed field facility and PSIs proton irradiation facility are presented. They demonstrate the proper functioning of the new electronics in the expected radiation conditions.
