ABSTRACT:
A charge coupled device transfers a charge packet to a floating diffusion region for producing voltage variation therein, and the voltage variation is relayed to an output terminal by means of a driving unit implemented by a plurality of source follower circuits coupled in cascade, wherein each of the second to final source follower circuits is implemented by a series combination of an enhancement type driving transistor and an enhancement type load transistor, and the enhancement type load transistor changes the channel conductance thereof complementary to the enhancement type driving transistor under the control of a control unit so as to improve the dynamic range of the output signal thereof without sacrifice of the sensitivity of the floating diffusion region.
