Abstract :
CONSIDERABLE information has been published on the properties of ferroelectric materials1¿4 and their use in digital memory devices has been described.5,6 It is the purpose of this paper to discuss the output signals from switched and unswitched ferroelectric storage capacitors, to treat the storage capacitor as a circuit element by the introduction of an equivalent circuit, and to present methods and several circuits by which the inherent signal-to-noise ratio can be improved.
