ABSTRACT:
Output circuit for charge coupled circuit includes an electrically floating diffusion at the substrate surface. The diffusion is coupled to a surface charge storage location and receives a surface charge signal therefrom. This diffusion may connect to a control electrode at the input circuit for a second charge coupled circuit for controlling the flow of surface charge from a source electrode to a second charge storage location. The diffusion periodically is reset by periodically forming a conduction channel between that diffusion and a drain electrode.
