  • Abstract
    An analogue-to-digital conversion scheme based on the e-periodic transfer characteristics of an SET inverter is proposed. The authors demonstrate the 4 bit analogue-to-digital converter performance using Monte-Carlo simulation in which an SET inverter implements a binary quantiser and encoder for one significant bit. This scheme can be easily extended to higher order bits
