Abstract:
In a television receiver, a higher beam current is enabled and a brighter image is provided, without adversely effecting the life of the cathode ray tube or endangering the high-tension transformer. The high-tension transformer includes a temperature sensor which acts with a control circuit for reducing the beam current when the temperature of the transformer rises above a specific temperature.
Abstract:
An arrangement for automatic switching of the regulating speed of a phase regulating circuit, in which the regulating speed is not switched abruptly. The regulating speed is, instead, switched either discontinuously or continuously, so that it does not attain a high level before the midpoint of the synchronizing pulse. The regulating speed is increased within a synchronizing window to an increasing extent up to the midpoint of the window, whereas the regulating speed decreases to a decreasing extent from that midpoint. The regulating speed of the phase regulating circuit is associated with the horizontal deflection in a television receiver, where interference in the vicinity of the synchronizing pulse has a detrimental effect, particularly near the edges.

A line deflection circuit for a television receiver having a deflection coil, an S capacitor for S correction of the linearity of the deflection, the capacitor being connected in series with the deflection coil, and having means for changing over the linearity of the line deflection current for a change of the picture aspect ratio, wherein the means for changing the picture aspect ratio comprise a network formed by an inductance and a capacitance which are connected in series, wherein the network is tuned to approximately the line trace period, wherein a switch is provided to switch the network between an operative and a non-operative state, and wherein the network in its operative state is connected in parallel to the S capacitor.
Abstract:
In a television receiver, a dynamic, parabolic correction voltage for focusing is generated by way of a transformer whose primary winding is fed with the line deflection current or a line-frequency voltage and to whose secondary winding a capacitor is connected, which capacitor integrates the sawtooth-waveform current in the secondary winding into a parabolic voltage. New types of picture tubes require a correction voltage which does not have a parabolic profile, rather whose form corresponds approximately to the cross section through the center of a bathtub. It is an object to provide a simple circuit for generating such a bathtub-waveform correction voltage. This is achieved by virtue of the fact that a frequency-dependent network, in particular a series resonant circuit comprising an inductance and a capacitance, is connected in parallel with the capacitor, which network is tuned in such a way that the network effects an additional sinusoidal current with a period duration approximately equal to the line trace period. The circuit is particularly simple, requires no active elements, effects a low power loss, can be used with a current transformer and furthermore enables blanking of the correction voltage during the vertical blanking interval.
Abstract:
A television receiver in which a microcomputer controls an operating part, and a clock generator for the microcomputer is synchronized by synchronization pulses in the television signal transmitted to the receiver. The clock generator is also in the form of a control generator for a switching network part and for the deflection stages of the television receiver. The signal from the clock generator is divided and processed by a pulse-width modulator. This pulse-width modulator emits a control signal for controlling the switching network part.
Abstract:
Circuitry for limiting a rectified operating voltage.To recover energy from unutilized power from the secondary winding of a switching-network transformer, it is recirculated to the primary winding through a diode. When appliances fail, the excess energy component can increase to the extent that components are destroyed because the operating voltage increases.To prevent this situation the excess energy is recirculated into a higher operating voltage U.sub.S through a diode and through another secondary winding of the transformer. The number of turns in the second secondary winding and its polarity ensure that the flyback voltage U.sub.R will be higher than the difference between U.sub.S and U.sub.B.Switching-network components in conjunction with rectifier modulators in television receivers.

Abstract:
A method of controlling the switching transistor in the switch mode power supply of a television receiver includes the steps of selectively operating the transistor in a stand-by state, a start-up state and an ON-state. During the stand-by state the switching transistor is rendered conductive by applying bursts of pulses at a frequency above, and unsynchronized with, the line frequency of the television receiver. The pulses are separated by changing intervals. During the start-up state the frequency of said bursts of the pulses is continuously reduced and pulses and the duration of the on time of the transistor is determined using a regulation voltage. During the ON-state, line synchronizing pulses are applied and the switching transistor is regulated to the line frequency.
Abstract:
A circuit for correcting geometrical distortions in reproducing signals on a screen of a cathode-ray tube in a display monitor. A line-frequency correction current having line deflection frequency is coupled into the vertical deflection unit which serves for deflecting vertically electron beams in the cathode-ray tube. A circuit which provides horizontal deflection current is connected to the primary winding of a differential transformer. The differential transformer has a secondary winding connected to the circuit which supplies vertical deflection current. The distortion is reflected by a cathode-ray tube which has a substantially flat picture screen, in which horizontal lines to be displayed form in angle with a horizontal reference grid.
Abstract:
A television receiver with a utility line-separated end and a controlled, line-separating, switched external power supply at the utility line end. Horizontal and vertical deflection currents are generated by horizontal and vertical output stages, and each of the two output stages are connected to a driving stage for the purpose of triggering the respective output stage. A modulator supplies a triggering signal to the driving stage and controls line separation. A horizontal frequency control signal and a vertical frequency control signal are generated and applied to horizontal and vertical sawtooth signal generators. The vertical output stage has one input connected to the horizontal sawtooth signal generator, and a second input connected to the vertical sawtooth signal generator through an error amplifier for vertical deflection of the end of the power supply connected to the utility line. The power supply is synchronized with oscillators for horizontal and vertical deflection, and is connected at the utility line-separated end.
