Abstract
An analog to digital converter (ADC) based on single-electron tunnelling transistors (SETTs) is proposed and analyzed. The scheme fully utilizes Coulomb oscillation effect, can properly operate at T >0K and only a capacitive divider (built with 2n-2 capacitors) and n pairs of complementary SETTs are required for an n-bit ADC implementation. Using this scheme, a 4-bit ADC is demonstrated at 10K by means of simulation.
