ABSTRACT:
In accordance with novel features of the present invention, a method and apparatus are provided for generating a oscillatory output signal having an oscillatory rate that is proportional to the magnitude of charge delivered through the input to the first charge well. The apparatus includes an input disposed to receive an input signal and an output disposed to output an oscillatory signal. A plurality of adjacently-disposed CCD charge wells are disposed between the input and the output. The plurality of CCD charge wells include a first charge well that is disposed in communication with the input and a last charge well is disposed in communication with the output. A charge sensor is disposed in proximity to the first charge well and operates to sense the magnitude of charge stored in the first charge well, and a driver is responsive to the sensor to drive an electrode disposed in proximity to a second charge well, which is disposed adjacent to the first charge well. Means are included for propagating the charge delivered to the second charge well to the last charge well.
