#42 Practical Modeling of Bucket-Brigade Device Circuits
Colin Raffel, Julius Smith
This paper discusses the sonic characteristics of the bucket-brigade device (BBD) and associated circuitry. BBDs are integrated circuits which produce a time-delayed version of an input signal. In order to reduce aliasing, distortion, and noise, BBDs are typically accompanied by low-pass filters and compander circuitry. Through circuit analysis and measurements, each component of the typical BBD system can be accurately modeled.
