A single electron transistor (SET)-based quantiser circuit has been developed for the purpose of digital communication. The proposed circuit, which consists of only two SET devices and one load capacitor, offers ultra-low power dissipation, small quantisation 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 by varying the device capacitor.
