Abstract:
A convergence control apparatus for a video display is provided. In the apparatus, a convergence controller receives a vertical synchronization signal and a horizontal synchronization signal and then outputs a vertical convergence correction voltage and a horizontal convergence correction voltage. An amplifier receives and amplifies the vertical convergence correction voltage and the horizontal convergence correction voltage. A correction current generator receives the amplified vertical convergence correction voltage and the amplified horizontal convergence correction voltage and then generates a vertical convergence correction current and a horizontal convergence correction current. A switching unit controls the vertical convergence correction voltage and the horizontal convergence correction voltage according to the horizontal synchronization signal.

A circuit arrangement is described for generating a sawtooth current in a cathode ray tube deflection coil. The circuit arrangement has a first and a second multiresonant section. The sections are arranged in series. The cathode ray tube deflection coil is part of the first section. The second section has an inductor. Each section provides a trace period in which the sawtooth current is generated in the cathode ray tube deflection coil and a retrace period in which flyback of the sawtooth current is provided. The circuit arrangement further has a current control circuit coupled to the inductor for controlling the course of the sawtooth current.

A horizontal deflection circuit includes a horizontal deflection winding coupled to a retrace capacitor to form a retrace resonant circuit. An S-shaping capacitor is coupled to the deflection winding to form a first trace resonant circuit. A first switching transistor is responsive to a synchronizing first signal at a frequency related to a horizontal deflection frequency and coupled to the deflection winding for generating a deflection current in the deflection winding. A second switching transistor is responsive to the first signal and having first and second switching state, during first and second portions of the trace interval. The second switching transistor couples the S-shaping capacitor to a modulation inductance and to a modulation capacitor to form a second trace resonant circuit, during the second portion of the trace interval. The length of the second portion is modulated at a vertical rate parabolic manner for modulating a current in the S-shaping capacitor to provide modulated S correction.

Abstract:
A resistor-capacitor-diode clamp is coupled to an S-capacitance of a horizontal deflection circuit output stage for reducing ringing by causing critical damping. The supply voltage of the output stage varies at a vertical rate parabolic manner for modulating the horizontal deflection current to provide East-West correction. A clamp capacitor of the clamp has a terminal that is direct current coupled to the supply voltage. Therefore, each terminal of the clamp capacitor has the same vertical rate parabola component. Consequently, the DC voltage difference developed between the terminals of the clamp capacitor does not include any vertical rate parabola component, the result is that the sensitivity of the damping to the supply voltage vertical rate variations is, advantageously, eliminated or reduced.
