Patent number: 5939844Abstract: A high-frequency horizontal deflection/high-voltage generation apparatus capable of setting inductance of a deflecting yoke without being affected by a collector voltage of a horizontal switching transistor and suppressing power loss while increasing a deflecting pulse voltage so that amplitude adjustment and side-pin correction can be effectuated without incurring any appreciable power loss. A voltage which is higher than the collector voltage V.sub.CP of the switching transistor is applied to the deflecting yoke. A resonant circuit is provided for applying to the deflecting yoke a voltage pulse of positive polarity and that of negative polarity, i.e., the voltage pulses bearing opposite phase relation to each other, for increasing equivalently the voltage applied across the deflecting yoke. The switching waveform outputted from the resonant circuit is synchronized with a switching operation of a high-speed switching element driven by a voltage induced in a winding of the deflecting transformer.Type: GrantFiled: May 8, 1997Date of Patent: August 17, 1999Assignee: Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.Inventors: Katsuhiko Shiomi, Takafumi Nagasue, Yutaka Sakaue

Patent number: 5914574Abstract: The most popular method for reducing stray emission effects in a cathode ray tube is to install a bleeder resistor at the flyback transformer of the tube. Such a bleeder resistor is, however, quite expensive. Therefore, the stray emission reduction circuit according to the invention differentiates the H pulse when the TV set is switched from "on" to "standby" which results in a higher duty cycle of the control transistor, implying a lower duty cycle of the horizontal output transistor HOT. This results in a lower voltage at the tuning capacitor and hence lowers the flyback peak voltage at the anode. This results in a drop of the EHT voltage.Type: GrantFiled: May 1, 1997Date of Patent: June 22, 1999Assignee: Thomson Multimedia S.A.Inventors: Hsu Flame, Seng Huat Ng, Chun-Hsing Wu

Patent number: 5844793Abstract: A high-voltage transformer for a television receiver is known to be tuned to a specific harmonic of the frequency of the flyback oscillation in order to reduce the internal resistance of the high-voltage source. In certain cases such as, for example, a channel change, a particularly high beam current of the order of magnitude of 3 to 5 mA briefly occurs. As a result of such a current surge, overshoots are produced at the transformer which may increase the flyback voltage at the switching transistor by approximately 150 V and thus endanger the transistor. The object is to design the transformer in such a way that overshoots of this type are reduced. According to the invention, the number of partial windings (W2-W5) is greater than the number of diodes (3-5), and separate partial windings (W2-W5) are tuned to different harmonics. This tuning causes the quality factor to be reduced and the attenuation and the bandwidth to be increased in the system.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 1996Date of Patent: December 1, 1998Assignee: Deutsche Thomson Brandt GmbHInventor: Walter Goseberg

Patent number: 5804929Abstract: The control performance of a controlled power supply (14, 13, 1, 6, 8) which specifically feeds the line output stage (35) is deliberately degraded so as to produce the same effect as in the case where a resistor of about ten ohms would be arranged in its power supply connection (5).

Patent number: 5793621Abstract: A power supply system has a switching element to be turned on and off for d.c. to d.c. conversion of a unidirectional supply voltage in synchronism with horizontal synchronizing pulses used for line by line synchronization in a computer display. Since commercial computer systems commonly make selective use of horizontal synchronizing pulses at two different repetition rates, one of which is too high for driving the switching element, the horizontal synchronizing pulses generated at either rate are directed into an amplitude modulator circuit where the pulses are modulated to have either of two different predetermined amplitudes according to their repetition rates. The repetition rate of the horizontal synchronizing pulses being generated is determined from the amplitude of the amplitude modulated horizontal synchronizing pulses, and the switching element is driven at the lower rate even if the horizontal synchronizing pulses are being generated at the higher rate.Type: GrantFiled: March 6, 1997Date of Patent: August 11, 1998Assignee: Sanken Electric Co., Ltd.Inventor: Tomoyasu Yamada
