Abstract: A horizontal deflection circuit includes a flyback transformer. A secondary winding of the flyback transformer is coupled in series with a diode switch to produce a trace rectified supply voltage that energizes a vertical deflection amplifier. The diode switch also provides switching operation in an East-West diode modulator. During, for example, service mode operation, when the vertical raster is collapsed, the trace current in the secondary winding is substantially reduced. The reduced trace current is sensed for producing a control signal that causes the peak current supplied by the diode switch to the diode modulator to be smaller than the trace current in the secondary winding. This ensures that the diode switch remains conductive throughout horizontal trace, thereby, preventing an undesirable increase in the supply voltage from occuring.

A transformer for producing a desired voltage for energizing the image photographing apparatus is substantially spaced from the display unit and oriented such that leakage fluxes from the transformer will be directed substantially parallel to the electron beam in the display unit, for allowing the image to be displayed by the display unit with high accuracy without being adversely affected by the leakage fluxes.

Abstract: An X-radiation protection circuit in a television receiver is responsive to both high voltage and high beam current conditions. A first detector is interconnected with an electron beam power source and monitors the beam current therefrom. The first detector produces a first voltage proportional in magnitude to the electron beam current. A second detector monitors a high voltage transformer that produces a potential for operating on the electron beam and the second detector produces a second voltage that is proportional in magnitude to the high voltage potential. A monitoring circuit constantly monitors both the first and second voltages and produces a trigger signal whenever the additive sum of the first and second voltages exceeds a selected magnitude. In this manner, a trigger signal indicates an excessively high combination of electron beam current and high voltage.

Abstract: A compensation circuit for maintainng a CRT vertical raster size substantially constant with beam current changes includes a sensing resistor connected in series with the high voltage winding. The sensing resistor develops an input bias for a compensation transistor that has its output circuit connected across the vertical size control. Increases in beam current are reflected in increases in current in the high voltage winding which cause the compensation transistor to conduct more heavily and supply more current to the vertical size control. The size control is part of the discharge circuit of the vertical timing capacitor and the increased current from the transistor reduces the discharge time of the timing capacitor. Consequently the peak to peak voltage of the vertical current ramp is decreased.

Abstract: Circuit arrangement for a picture display device for the stabilization of the size of the picture displayed.In picture display devices having cathode-ray tubes, the first anode voltage for these tubes is recovered from the retrace pulse at a corresponding winding of the line transformer, this anode voltage source being of a relatively high ohmic value. As a result thereof, the anode voltage decreases versus an increasing anode current, and consequently, the picture displayed on the display screen becomes larger. More specifically, for picture display devices for word processing, which have a positive display, a very different anode current can flow because of different brightness settings. So as to produce nevertheless a largely constant anode voltage, a circuit arrangement which behaves as a negative resistance is provided at the lower end of the high-voltage winding.

Each of the control circuits have pulse-width modulators which provide pulses to an electronic switch. The control circuit on the primary side provides pulses to that switch of varying pulse width and of sufficient magnitude to maintain the television set in a standby mode. The control circuit in the secondary side of the transformer, on the other hand, comes into operation when the television set is turned on and provides pulses to the electronic switch while operating with the control circuit in the primary side for a predetermined period of time. Thereafter, the control circuit in the secondary side takes over the function of providing pulses to the electronic switch while the control circuit on the primary side is switched to an inoperative stage.

Abstract: During a power-up mode of a television receiver power supply, a first run supply voltage is generated by rectifying a retrace voltage in a flyback transformer of a horizontal output stage of the television receiver. The rectified voltage is coupled through a resistor and a diode to a power supply voltage receiving terminal of a load circuit. A voltage regulator that includes a pass transistor regulates the voltage at the terminal during both the power-up and standby modes. During the power-up mode, when the ambient temperature is higher than during the standby mode, the current in the transistor is lowered, as a result of a current that is coupled to the terminal via the diode. This reduces the power dissipation in the transistor during the power-up mode. A second transistor, having a base electrode that is coupled to the anode of the diode, generates a second run supply voltage that is temperature compensated at an emitter electrode of the transistor.

Abstract: An SCR switch of a switch mode power supply is coupled between an unregulated supply voltage and a filter capacitor. A regulator oscillator generates trigger pulses for controlling a switching operation of the SCR switch of the power supply to produce an output supply voltage that energizes a deflection circuit. The regulator oscillator produces trigger pulses that are applied to the SCR switch during both power-up and power-off operation. A resistor coupled between the unregulated supply voltage and the filter capacitor maintains the filter capacitor charged during power-off operation to prevent the trigger pulses from causing the latching operation in the SCR switch throughout the power-off operation. In this way, an audible parasitic vibration sound is not being generated by the power supply during the power-off operation.

Abstract: A diode is coupled to a low voltage end terminal of a tertiary high voltage winding of a horizontal flyback transformer. The diode is back biased during trace and during a portion of the second half of retrace by a voltage that is coupled to the diode through a resistor from a B+ voltage source. When the diode is back biased, the resistor dampens parasitic ringing current in the tertiary winding caused by the leakage inductance of the transformer. During a portion of retrace, occuring prior to the time the diode is back biased, the diode is conductive and bypasses the resistor. This prevents the resistor from increasing the output impedance at the ultor terminal.

Abstract: A regulator coupled to the main supply voltage generates a B+ scan voltage for a horizontal flyback transformer of a horizontal deflection circuit. A supply voltage is developed from a trace voltage in a flyback transformer secondary winding. The supply voltage is indicatiave of the horizontal deflection current amplitude. A decrease in mains supply voltage that cannot be compensated by the regulator, causes a corresponding decrease in the B+ scan and supply voltage and in a horizontal deflection current amplitude. The supply voltage is applied to the series arrangement of first and second resistors and a zener diode. A control voltage developed from the supply voltage, at a junction of the first and second resistors, is applied to a control terminal of a vertical deflection circuit for controlling the amplitude of the vertical deflection current. A decrease in the control voltage produces a greater proportional decrease in the vertical deflection current.
