Abstract
A charge transfer circuit of the type including first and second capacitors and a charge transfer transistor for transferring discrete packets of charge from the first to the second capacitor is disclosed. The charge transfer circuit includes a feedback circuit which recharges the first capacitor to a value which varies as a function of the threshold voltage of the charge transfer transistor. As a result, the magnitude of the charge packets transferred by the charge transfer remain at a predetermined value irrespective of variations in the threshold voltage of the transistor.
