Abstract

The application of many CCDs (Charge-Coupled-Device) in a large system requires efficient clock drivers capable of delivering to capacitive loads large voltage swing, fast rise and fall times with low power consumption. The driver circuit described meets these requirements using off-the-shelf inexpensive transistors. Notable aspect is the absence of bias-current in the drivers with each output capable of delivering 17 V in 5 ns.
