Abstract:
A circuit for generating a pulse-width-modulated signal comprises a phase-locked loop (PLL) having a duty-cycle-insensitive phase comparator and a Sigma-Delta pulse width modulation circuit suitable for providing the voltage-controlled oscillator function of the PLL. Thereby, frequency of the signal generated is synchronized by the PLL to the specified frequency of a synchronization signal, and is thus independent of the duty cycle.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a device to control a circuit for the vertical deflection of a spot scanning a screen, and more particularly a control device whose output amplifier stage works in class D mode at the rate of a switching signal called a first switching signal. The control device has an internal auxiliary supply to generate the overvoltage needed for the fast flyback of the spot. This auxiliary power supply is a switching voltage generation circuit whose switching signal, called a second switching signal, is synchronous with the first switching signal. The present invention has been shown to used advantageously in television screens and/or computer screens.
