  • Zig-zag SPS CCD memory
    Patent number: 4103347
    Abstract: A CCD memory is comprised of an array of serial-parallel-serial memory blocks. Each block is comprised of an N-stage serial-parallel register, an M-stage stack, and an N-stage parallel-serial register. The serial-parallel register has N outputs which couple in parallel to N inputs of the stack. The parallel-serial register has N inputs which couple in parallel to N outputs of the stack. Both registers have a zig-zag shaped charge transfer path which reduces their linear dimension, and also reduces the width of the stack.
