Abstract

A SET based quantizer circuit has been developed in this work for the purposes of application to digital communication systems. The proposed circuit, which consists of only two SET devices, offers ultra low power dissipation, small quantization noise error and zero granular noise error. The proposed circuit does not require any external sampling signal for sampling the baseband signal. The sampling rate can be controlled simply by varying the device capacitor.
