Abstract :
A VGA-compatible 1/4" true progressive scan 640(H)/spl times/480(V) FT-CCD imager with 5.1/spl times/5.1 /spl mu/m/sup 2/ pixels designed for compact, low-power multimedia applications, is presented. To obtain high charge storage in this very small pixel, the profiled peristaltic CCD structure was combined with vertical anti-blooming. The three-phase pixel holds up to 60000 electrons. 20 MHz frame shift is achieved, yielding 75 dB smear suppression. Charge binning allows interlaced operation.<>
