Abstract :
A 10 channel tunnel diode analog-to-digital converter (ADC) has been constructed and tested. The converter is a simple stacked discriminator with tunnel diodes used as the quantization elements. The device has a conversion time of less than 10 nanoseconds and a differential linearity on the order of ?? 3%.
