چکیده
In this paper we investigate SET devices from the logic design perspective, using the SET tunnel junction’s ability to control the transport of individual electrons. We introduce a modified turnstile circuit with clock and enable control signals, which has built-in memory and reset functionality. Using the modified turnstile circuit as a building block, we propose a scheme for an n-input digital to analog converter. We demonstrate the scheme by implementing and simulating a 3-bit digital to analog converter.
