Abstract:
A chrominance saturation control circuit to permit indirect or DC mode control of chrominance saturation. The connection between the chrominance saturation control knob in a television receiver and the chrominance saturation control circuit can be achieved through wiring which transmits only DC voltage. With this DC controlled chrominance saturation control, the television set may be made less susceptible to external interference compared to the case of using a shielded wiring for directly controlling the chrominance saturation.
Abstract:
An AGC amplifier having a Darlington pair as a noise gate circuit for preventing the development of unwanted AGC outputs due to noise pulses. The Darlington pair develops a larger overdrive with the same base current than if a single transistor is employed, so a longer storage time of the transistors results, lengthening the gate period. This makes available an AGC amplifier circuit with a noise gate circuit whose gate period is longer without using a capacitor, thereby providing a convenient means for application to monolithic integrated circuits.
Abstract:
A chrominance amplifier circuit, adapted to be formed in a monolithic integrated circuit, in which an automatic gain control function is performed by a circuit arrangement containing no capacitor, the automatic gain control function having no influence on the bandwidth characteristic of the amplifier so that the chrominance amplification operation can be stably performed.
Abstract:
A color killer circuit in which means are provided so as to carry out a stable color killing operation free from fluctuations in power supply voltage so that the color killing operation may not be directly affected by the absolute value of the color killer control voltage.
