ABSTRACT:
An output circuit of a charge coupled device comprises a transistor (4, 5, 6) having a floating diffusion (5) provided to receive a series of signal charges from a charge transfer section. Each signal charge is transferred to the floating diffusion in synchronism with a drive clock applied to the charge transfer section. The transistor has a gate electrode (4) connected to receive a reset clock (.phi.R') applied at an interval longer than the period of the drive clock.
