  • Method and apparatus for transferring images from an imaging array
    Patent number: 5196939
    Abstract: The present invention is a method and apparatus for transferring data from an imaging device. An image array is used to capture an image arranged in columns and rows of charges held in pixels in the image array. These charges are then transferred through a group of vertical registers to a storage register. Once in the storage register rows which have not been selected for transfer are dumped to a dump drain. Rows that have been selected for transfer continue through the vertical registers until they reach a pair of transfer registers from which the rows are output.
