Typically, applications need a highly specific and customized pixel design to achieve the required performance. In-pixel charge storage gates, also called frame buffers, are CCD devices which allow signal processing in the charge domain. The technology allows addition and subtraction of charge without adding noise to the signal. It also allows to store hundreds of frames at a frame rate in the tens of millions per second (Mfps) or even higher.
