Abstract
A prototype sixteen channel charge-coupled device (CCD) system has been constructed for use with the prototype Time Projection Chamber (TPC) installed at the Bevalac at LBL. The system stores and digitizes analog pulse height information as a function of time from a set of proportional wires or cathode pads and provides the TPC with a true three-dimensional spatial readout. The performance of the system was found to be comparable to that of an equivalent ADC system.Keywords
