A charge-coupled device is an integrated circuit containing an array of linked, or coupled, capacitors. Under the control of an external circuit, each capacitor can transfer its electric charge to a n

…for reconstruction. (A low-pass is used as an approximation to the Whittaker–Shannon interpolation formula.) The BBD shares a principle similar to the charge-coupled device (CCD), which was invented by Bell Labs for use in digital cameras. However, the idea of using capacitors to retain a voltage state has older origins…
