ABSTRACT:
A system is provided for increasing the operation speed of monolithic sensor arrays by segmenting the output circuitry to provide parallel outputs. Two approaches are described. One is an "on-chip" configuration, and the other, an "off-chip" configuration. In the first case, the transfer shift register (14) is divided into two or more segments, each segment serving a corresponding segment of the sensor array (10). By segmenting the transfer shift register, the transfer rate to parallel processors can be improved. In the off-chip approach, a system of gates (18) are provided to shift the contents of the on-chip transfer shift register (14) into a plurality of smaller shift registers (20), the contents of which are then transferred to multiple data processors.
