  • Abstract
    A digital to analogue converter (DAC) based on a single-electron tunnelling transistor (SETT) is proposed. The proposed scheme fully utilises the Coulomb blockade effect and only a SETT and n+1 capacitors are necessary for an n-bit DAC implementation. Using this scheme, a 4-bit DAC is demonstrated by means of simulation.
