Popis: A high-speed analog-to-digital (A/D) converter based on the resonant tunneling diode (RTD) is described. This A/D converter takes advantage of the folding characteristic of the RTD to reduce circuit complexity. The speed of the A/D converter is improved by the fast latching action of the RTD digitizer. Simulations show that the 4-B A/D converter can have a sampling rate of several gigahertz. >
