Abstract

An 8-bit digital-to-analog converter ( DAC ) based on the multiple-value k electron ( MVKe ) single electron circuit ( SEC ) is presented. With each MVke SEC, a variable number of electron k*e can be added one by one to an output node. Each MVke SEK, consists of two tunnel junctions and five capacitors. The proposed 8-bit DAC consists of eight MVke SEC blocks in addition to the charge reservoir load capacitor. It is implemented and simulated using SIMON 2.
