A METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR REPLICATING A CHARGE PACKET Abstract of the Disclosure A method and apparatus for duplicating or replicating an original packet of charge carriers such as electrons or holes while leaving the original charge packet unchanged and still available for further processing is described. A charge-coupled device (CCD) circuit is provided using gate displacement charge flow in combination with a bucket brigade circuit. The CCD circuit includes a first +CCD well, a source diffusion and a second CCD well. An original charge packet is introduced into the first CCD well, the gate of which being precharged to a given source potential. The charge packet in the first CCD well reduces the magnitude of the source potential and it is immediately restored by current flow which in turn causes charge carriers to transfer from the source diffusion into the second CCD well until a charge packet is contained in the second CCD well which is a replica of the original charge packet.
