Abstract
Enhanced Bucket Brigade Delay (BBD) circuits which more readily support cascaded configurations. A gain control mechanism is utilized in combination with an attenuation coupling network between subsequent BBD stages to achieve significantly longer delays than are achievable by the single BBD device, without introducing excessive noise or increased power dissipation associated with the need of reconstructing and biasing the intermediate signal between BBD devices.
