Abstract
A charge coupled device is provided with: an output gate; a main CCD region operated in response to a set of clock signals; and an output region positioned between the output gate and the main CCD region and designed to transfer electric charges received from the main CCD region to the output gate. The main CCD region includes first and second transfer electrodes. The output region includes third and fourth transfer electrodes receiving clock signals which are phase-reversed from each other. The set of clock signals received by the main CCD region and the clock signals received by the output region are outputted from different driver circuits.
