CCD Programmable Signal Processor

摘要

A generic charge coupled device (CCD) signal processor that performs 2.8-billioncomputations per second with a 10-MHz clock rate has been fabricated. A dynamic range greater than 42 dB has been demonstrated by the device. This processor can be used as a 1-D correlator, a 2-D matched filter, or a two-layer neural net device. The device demonstrates the flexibility and computational power that is possible using CCD technology.
