ABSTRACT:
A CTD (charge transfer device) transversal filter that utilizes displacement current charge substraction techniques to create positive displacement current charge summation for some electrodes and negative displacement current charge summation for other electrodes into and out of a common electrode node. The operation is accomplished by shifting by one half bit all signal charges within the negative tap structure with respect to the signal charges within the positive tap structure. Thus, only a single summing capacitance node is utilized with all taps, plus and minus, being connected together, eliminating the differential amplifier requirement of other CTD transversal filters. An arrangement of either zero tap weights with an extra one bit delay or a separate high-frequency pulse eliminating a one bit delay are utilized to provide or not provide, as desired, zero weighting between the tap sections. The arrangements of the invention provide substantially any desired class of impulse response function and in most arrangements, clock pick-up noise is substantially cancelled and capacitive imbalance between positive and negative sections, being common, is eliminated. The invention applies to both analog and digital tap weight designs.
