Abstract

The speed of a capacitive cell RAAM used for storing an optical image as electric charge is greatly enhanced by presampling the serial analog input signal on two rows or lines of presampling capacitors, each composed of the same number of capacitors as the number of columns of the capacitive cell RAAM and by "writing" in a parallel mode the selected row of said memory. The values stored in the capacitors of one of said two presampling rows are transferred (written) in the corresponding cells of the selected row of the memory while presampling continues on the other row of presampling capacitors.
