PRESENT AND FUTURE APPLICATION OFCHARGE-COUPLED DEVICES FOR MEMORY

R SIGNAL PROCESSING & IMAGINGPURPOSE: To furnish the practitioner with the concepts, applica-tions, and a technical projection of Charge-Coupled Devices(CCD's). Applications to be explored are memory (volatile andnon-volatile), signal processing (analog filters and data formatconversion), and solid state vidicons (visible and infrared). Further-more, the implications of the charge transfer concept to reducedpower consumption, noise, circuit complexity and cost will bepresented. The course will conclude with a laboratory tour.

SELECTED TOPICS TO BE COVERED: Device Operations;Electrical Character of Epi-layers; Visible Imaging; Infrared ImagingDetection; Device Noise; Analog Signal Processing; Digital Memory;Technology Projection, and Department of Defense Perspective.COORDINATORS AND LECTURERS: Dr. Richard D. Nelson(Rockwell Intemational); Dr. Barry T. French (Rockwell Interna-tional); Dr. Kurt Lehovec (USC); Dr. Dave Barbe (Naval ResearchLaboratory, Washington, D. C.); Dr. Dennis Buss (Texas Instru-ments).DATES: February 24-28, 1975 FEE: $345.00
