Abstract:

The patent relates to an improved serpentine charge-coupled-device memory circuit provided by alternately interleaving linear-shift registers of adjacent arrays, and placing non-refresh turn-around circuits in the CCD channel. This structure provides approximately twice the available space for the width of the refresh-turn circuitry over that of prior art devices so that better and more complex refresh-turn amplifiers and circuits may be used.
