3.2 MECHANISM OF THE CCD ELECTRICAL CHARGE TRANSMISSION The TMC-7 uses a 4-phase drive method CCD. For simplicity, a 2-phase drive method CCD is explained ø2 ø1 below. N- N P - sub Figure 1 shows an example of the changes which can occur in potential wells in successive time intervals.
The generated charges are fed into the vertical shift registers all at The TMC-7 must use either the 12P Series or C-10 once. The charges are then transferred from the verti- cable. When applying power to the camera, make...
