Abstract
A photoelectric converter output processing system includes a photoelectric converter for converting light signals into electric output signals, a voltage storage device capable of storing a reference voltage, a voltage supply device that supplies a preset voltage, a control device that selectively couples the voltage supply device to the voltage storage device so that the voltage storage device is charged to the reference voltage when the photoelectric converter is generating one of the electric output signals and a reset reference signal, and an amplifier coupled to the photoelectric converter and the voltage storage device. The amplifier amplifies the photoelectric converter electric output signals based on the reference voltage stored in the voltage storage device. Thus, reliable CCD output amplification is achieved, starting with the first effective CCD sensor output cycle.
