Abstract :
A modified accordion clocking system offers an on-chip electronic method for the elimination of smear. The method is insensitive to spot movement. For frame transfer CCD imagers the clocking system provides an electronic shutter function as well. The smear suppression is also applicable to interline CCD imagers.<>
