    摘要: A charge transfer device and its driving method are disclosed such that transfer pulses each having an amplitude substantially equal to that of transfer pulses applied to transfer electrodes at transfer stages before a plurality of successively-arranged transfer stages including a final transfer stage and DC offset levels so decreased gradually as to gradually make shallow the depth of potential wells formed under the transfer electrodes toward the final transfer stage are applied to transfer electrodes (16 n-2 to 16 n ; 17 n-2 to 17 n ) at successively-arranged plural transfer stages including the final stage. Further, a charge transfer device and its driving method are disclosed such that a transfer pulse having an amplitude substantially equal to that of transfer pulses applied to transfer electrodes at transfer stages before the final transfer stage and a DC offset voltage so biased as to allow the depth of potential well formed under the transfer electrodes at the final transfer stage to be shallower than that of potential wells formed under the transfer electrodes at the transfer stages before the final transfer stage is applied to the transfer electrode at the final transfer stage.

This clamping circuit includes a differential output circuit (13) to which an input signal is applied, series-connected two MOS type gate circuits (14,15) respectively having gate electrodes to which an output signal from the differential output circuit to be clamped and a reference voltage (V REF ) of a target value are applied, and reset circuit (18) including a holding capacitor (17) connected to the drain electrode side of either of the MOS type gate circuits (14,15) to discharge charge in the holding capacitor (17) at the time of beginning of clamping operation. The clamping circuit further includes a current source (16) connected to the junction between the MOS type gate circuits (14,15), charge current flow control circuit (19) for accumulating charge in the holding capacitor (17), and feedback circuit (20) for feeding back a potential of the holding capacitor (17) to the differential output circuit (13). Thus, a small-sized clamping circuit which can perform stable operation is provided.
