ABSTRACT:
A gain compression method and apparatus which is especially suitable for charge coupled devices is disclosed. A mobile charge packet generation area is provided with an adjacent overflow barrier. The overflow barrier is adjacent an N+ diffusion region which provides parasitic capacitance to the overflow barrier. The diffusion region adjusts the potential of the overflow barrier as greater amounts of charge overflow the barrier.
