Abstract: A CCD storage module has storage positions which are arranged in cascade and which are produced by electrodes arranged in insulated fashion above a semiconductor substrate. In respect of each storage position, an item of information incoming as a n-digit binary number is stored in that a quantity of charge consisting of i unit charges is stored in respect of each storage position, where i corresponds to the value of the binary number of the information. A decoder circuit is provided for the input of the quantity of charge to the first storage position. The decoder circuit consists of n input circuits and each input circuit is assigned one bit position of the information composed of n bits and produces a charge corresponding to the digit value of that position.

Abstract: A CCD storage module has storage positions which are arranged in cascade and which are formed with the aid of electrodes arranged in insulated fashion above a semiconductor substrate. In respect of each storage position, an item of information, incoming as a binary number comprising n bits, is stored in that a quantity of charge composed of small i unit charges is stored in respect of each storage position, where i corresponds to the value of the binary number of the information. For analysis of the quantity of charge eminating from the last storage position of the cascade of storage positions, in a cascade with the last storage position (2.sup.

Abstract: A storage arrangement for use with CCD storage devices, the storage area having an input shift register and an output shift register each of m bits. 2m shift registers, each of length n bits and constructed using the electrode-per-bit principle connect the input shift register to the output shift register. A circular shift register of length n bits being connected to the gate input of n switching transistors each of which is connected between a supply potential and one of n pulse train lines of the storage area. A circulating charge in the circular shift register is the means whereby each one of the n switching transistors cyclically connects one of the n pulse train lines to the supply potential.
