Abstract
A multi-channel multiplexer for converting multi-channel parallel information to single channel serial information. In the preferred embodiment, the invention utilizes the delay characteristics of charged-coupled devices (CCD) to sequentially delay simultaneous inputs and add them at the output thereby performing a parallel-to-serial multiplexing function. Multiple delay gate electrodes coupled to clocks having varying frequencies are utilized to sequentially delay the charge being transferred.
