Abstract: A device for copying a voltage (Ve) comprises a pair of series-connected MOS transistors, their sources forming a common point. The voltage (Ve) to be copied is applied between the gate of the first MOS transistor of the pair and a reference. Means are provided to inject a flux of electrons at a common point. A storage capacitor has a first terminal connected to the drain of the second MOS transistor and a second terminal designed to be biased. Means dictate a potential at the drain of the second MOS transistor and then let it vary so that the flux of electrons is stored in the storage capacitor while at the same time decreasing in the second MOS transistor to the benefit of the first one. The copied voltage Vs is available, after stabilization, between the first terminal of the storage capacitor and the reference. Application in particular to circuits for the reading of charges generated in a photosensitive matrix or photosensitive linear array.

Abstract: According to the invention, each light-sensitive element is made up by the series-connection of a capacitor, a photodiode and an electronic switch. The light signal to be read is applied to the device after the photodiodes have been reverse polarized by a voltage pulse with an amplitude V.sub.P1. The device is read row by row, by the application of a voltage pulse with an amplitude V.sub.P2 greater than V.sub.P1 to each row read. The switches of the read row are closed while the switches of the other rows are open. Once the device is read, the photodiodes are zeroized.
