Abstract:
In a complementary-MOSFET driving circuit for driving the charge multiplication gate of an EM-CCD, a ferrite bead is connected to a conduction-termination direction diode in parallel thereto, the conduction-termination direction diode being inserted into the gate electrodes of complementary MOSFETs in series therewith, the impedance of the ferrite bead at a switching frequency being lower than one-half of the gate-electrode impedance of the MOSFETs, a time during which the MOSFETs are brought into simultaneous conduction being shorter than ¼th of the switching period, the impedance of the ferrite bead at a frequency equivalent to ¼th of the switching period being higher than 2 times the gate-electrode impedance of the MOSFETs, a ferrite bead being connected to the drain electrodes of the complementary MOSFETs in series therewith, the impedance of the ferrite bead at the switching frequency being lower than one-half of the impedance of a capacitive load at the switching frequency, and the impedance of the ferrite bead, at a frequency equivalent to ¼th of the switching period being higher than 2 times the impedance of the capacitive load.
