PHILIPS I19T600 /02 " Cortina " CHASSIS PS 60159.0 CIRCUIT ARRANGEMENT FOR PRODUCING A SAWTOOTH CURRENT ACROSS THE VERTICAL DEFLECTION COIL OF A TELEVISION RECEIVER, Philips Tubes vertical deflection
A circuit for introducing adjustable parabolic and S-components in a sawtooth current in a coil, wherein the coil is connected in the output of an amplifier device, con-sists of the series circuit of a charging capacitor, a wind-ing coupled to the coil, and a first resistor. A first series circuit of a second resistor and a reservoir capacitor is connected between the junction of the first resistor and winding and the junction of the winding and charging ca-pacitor, in that order. The junction of the second re-sistor and second capacitor are connected to the control electrode of the amplifier. The other end of the charging capacitor is connected to a variable tapping on a parallel resistance capacitance circuit in another input circuit of the device, in order to permit varying of the relative am-plitudes of the parabolic and S-components. A variable resistor is connected between the control electrode and the variable tapping in order to permit variation of the am-plitudes of the parabolic and S-component with respect to the sawtooth component.
The invention relates to a circuit arrangement for producing a sawtooth current across the vertical deflection coil of a television receiver. The coil is included in the output circuit of the vertical output stage, to the control-electrode of which is applied the sawtooth con-trol-signal which is developed across a charging capacitor included in the control-electrode circuit. The charging capacitor is periodically discharged and is recharged with the aid of a charging circuit which includes the se-ries combination of a resistor and a winding, lying outside the discharging circuit. The winding is magnetically cou-pled with a choke included in the output circuit of the 50 vertical output stage, through which winding a voltage is induced, which is opposite the capacitor voltage. Said winding has connected with it in parallel the series corn-bination of at least one resistor and one reservoir capaci-tor, the free end of the latter being connected to the June- 55 tion of the charging capacitor and the winding. A furher input electrode of the output stage has connected to it the parallel combination of a resistor and a capacitor. One end of a further resistor is connected to the control electrode of the vertical output stage, and the other end GO of the further resistor is coupled with the resistor con-nected to the said input electrode. Such a circuit arrangement is described in U.S. Patent No. 2,851,632. It is, however, necessary to add to each cycle of the sal,vtooth current one cycle of a parabola 65 component and also one cycle of a so-called &com-ponent. The parabola component is required in view of the fact that the vertical deflection coil is coupled through a trans-former with the vertical output stage. The same applies 70 to the case in which for other reasons than coupling through the transformer not only the vertical deflection

coil, behaving substantially like a resistor, but also an in-ductor is included in the output circuit of the vertical final stage. The S-component is required in view of the fact that the display screen of the display tube in a television re-ceiver is flat. Therefore, the rate of deflection of the electron beam must be higher at the centre of the screen than at the edge in order to achieve a linear displacement of the spot on the display screen. The S indicates sym-bolically what form the current through the deflection coil must be for obtaining these desired deflection rates. Numerous circuit arrangements are known by which the desired current form can be produced. However, they have the disadvantage that they are either too compli-cated or are not capable of providing the correct ratio between the sawtooth, parabola and S-component. The circuit arrangement according to the invention is, on the contrary, simple and provides, in addition, the possibility of adjusting accurately the desired ratio between saw-tooth, parabola and S-component, while it prevents, in addition, an excessive influence of undesirable higher de-gree components in the produced current. In order to produce the parabola and S-component, and permit adjustment of their amplitudes, the circuit arrangement according to the invention is characterized in that in parallel with the reservoir capacitor there is con-nected an integrating network which consists of the series combination of an integrating capacitor and an integrating resistor, the free end of the latter being coupled with the junction of the charging capacitor and of the reservoir capacitor. The junction of the integrating resistor and the integrating capacitor is connected to the control-electrode of the output stage. The end of the charging capacitor remote from the winding is connected to a variable tap-ping of the resistor connected to the input electrode. The impedance of the latter resistor is, in operation, great with respect to the impedance of the comparatively great parallel-connected capacitor. In addition, the further re-sistor is made variable, and the end thereof not connected to the control electrode is connected to the tapping of the resistor connected to the input electrode. Variation of the tapping point adjusts the relative ampltiudes of the parab-ola and S-component, while variation of the further resistor controls the relative amplitudes of the parabola and S-component with respect to the sawtooth. A few possible embodiments of circuit arrangements according to the invention will be described with reference to the accompanying figures, of which FIG. 1 shows a possible circuit diagram of an embodi-ment equipped with valves. FIG. 2 shows a partial substitute diagram of the ar-rangement of FIG. I. FIG. 3 shows a further diagrammatical substitute dia-gram of the arrangement of FIG. 2. FIG. 4 shows a first possible modification of the sub-stitute diagram of FIG. 3 and hence of the arrangement of FIG. I and FIG. 5 shows a second possible modification of the substitute diagram of FIG. 3 and hence also of the ar-rangement of FIG. 1. Referring to FIG. 1, the valve 1 is the vertical output stage of a television receiver, the anode circuit of which includes an output transformer 2. The vertical deflec-tion coil 4 is connected to the secondary winding 3 of said transformer 2. In order to produce the desired control-voltage for the control-electrode 5 of the valve 1, the grid circuit of said valve includes the following network. This net-work consists in the first place of a charging resistor 6, a winding 7 and a charging capacitor 8, which are connected in series with each other and the free end of the charging resistor 6 is connected to the positive supply voltage +VB. In practice the voltage +VB is usually derived from the horizontal output stage, since this stage is, in the first place stabilised and is, in addi-tion capable of providing a fairly high supply voltage, which is conducive to the linearity of the sawtooth volt-age to be produced. It will be seen from FIG. 1 that the end of the capacitor 8 remote from the winding 7 is connected, in accordance with a first principle of the invention, to a variable tapping 9 associated with a po-tentiometer 10, which is included in the cathode con-ductor of the valve 1. This resistor is shunted by a com-paratively large electrolytic capacitor 11, which is chosen so that its impedance is small for the repetition frequency of the sawtooth voltage to be produced with respect to the impedance of the resistor 10. As is in-dicated by the line 12 with the double arrow, the wind-ing 7 is magnetically coupled with the primary winding of the transformer 2. As is the case in said Patent No. 2,851,632 the sense of winding of the winding 7 is such that the sawtooth voltage 13 produced across the wind- 90 ing 7 is unlike the sawtooth voltage 14 produced across the capacitor 8. Also in this case this serves to ensure an optimum linearity of the sawtooth 14. The winding 7 has furthermore connected with it in parallel the series combination of a capacitor 15 and two resistors 16 and 17, the resistor 17 being variable. The network 15, 16 and 17 is provided for eliminating the peak developed across the winding 7 during the vertical fly-back from the signal 13, so that a signal 18 is finally produced across the capacitor 15, the polarity of this signal being opposite that of the voltage 14 across the capacitor 8, its waveform being, however, substantially identical to that of the latter. For this purpose the capacitor 15 must have a comparatively high value: a value of 68K pf. may be chosen and the resistors 16 and 17 serving as peak resistors must be comparatively small; values of 22K ohms and 10K ohms respectively may be chosen. According to a further aspect of the arrangement ac-cording to the invention the sawtooth voltage 18 is em-ployed for producing partly the required parabola com-ponent and partly the desired S-component. As will be explained more fully hereinafter, this means that fur-ther steps are required to ensure that the control-signal applied finally to the control-electrode 5 accurately con-tains the desired components with their correct ampli-tudes. In order to convert the sawtooth voltage 18 produced across the capacitor 15 into a signal containing the de-sired parabola and S-components, the capacitor 15 has connected with it in parallel the series combination of a capacitor 19, a resistor 20 and a large capacitor 21, operating as a blocking capacitor. The capacitor 21. is un-essential for the further explanation, it only serves to en-sure that the high direct voltage at the junction of the winding 7 and of the charging capacitor 8 cannot pene-trate to the control-grid S. Therefore, the network formed by the capacitor '19 and the resistor 20 constitutes the in-tegration network proper which has to ensure that the voltage V15 produced across the capacitor 15 is converted into a signal containing the desired correction corn-ponents. 'Finally, the third step according to the invention con-sists in that a resistor 22 is arranged between the con-trol-grid 5 and the variable tapping 9. In order to display that, in fact, the control-grid 5 has produced across it the desired control-signal and that by connecting the capacitor 8 and the resistor 22 to the variable tapping 9 the anode current starts passing through the valve 1, which contains all the desired com-ponents for providing accurately the correct waveform of the final current through the deflection coil 4, HG. 2 shows partially a substitute diagram of the arrange-rnent of FIG. 1. It will be apparent from FIG. 2 that the voltage Vg of capacitor 8 is indicated by at and the voltage V15 of capacitor 15 by in a and b are constants, which have each the dimension of a voltage per unit time. It will furthermore be obvious that, since finally the sawtooth voltage to be applied to the control-grid 5 must increase during the forward stroke, the number of turns of the winding 7 has to be chosen so that the amplitude of the signal 13, as far as the sawtooth por-tion is concerned, is smaller than the amplitude of the signal 14 and it follows therefrom that for the signal 18 V, ith respect to the signal 14 the same must apply. It therefore always applied a>b. For performing the desired calculation the circuit dia-gram of FIG. 2 is further simplified and shown in this form in FIG. 3. In .FIG. 3 the capacitor 15 is represent-ed by a voltage source 15', which supplies a voltage v15,. The capacitor 8 is represented by a source 8', which supplies the voltage Vg. The capacitor 21. is omit-ted from the diagram of FIG. 3, since it is large and un-essential for these explanations. It is furthermore as-sumed in the diagram of FIG. 3 that the source 15' pro-duces a current i1 through the network of the capacitor 19 and the resistor 20 only, whilst the sources 8' and 15' produce a current i2, which passes through the ca-pacitor 19 and resistor 22.

The greater the time constants R20C19 and R22C19 are 70 chosen, the small become the values of Pi and 132. Since, moreover, the denominator increases with an increas-ing degree in t (for t4 the denominator is 24 and for /3 it is already 120), the fourth and higher degree terms in Equation 5 can be neglected with respect to the first, 75 second and third degree terms with a correct choice of the resistors R20 and R22 and of the capacitor 19.

This signal contains, in principle, all the desired correction terms, since it contains not only the linear term, i.e. the sawtooth component (a—b)t but also the posi-tive quadratic term, i.e. the required parabolic component and a negative third-degree term, i.e. the component re-quired for the S-correction. This S- or third-degree com-ponent must, in fact, be negative, since with respect to 15 the flat display screen of the display tube the rate of scanning must be reduced both at the beginning and at the end of the stroke. This means a third-degree term must be subtracted from the linear term.Since a>b, it follows therefrom that the positiveness of this coefficient depends upon the ratio between R20 and R22. On the basis of a positive term, it becomes constantly smaller according as R22 diminishes until it changes over from positive to negative, which means that by means of •R22 in a first instance the measure of parabolic correction and the measure of S-correction can be adjusted In principle, the desired extent of parabolic correction with respect to the sawtooth component could be adjusted, but this does not apply to the associated extent of S-cor-rection, since the terms pi and g2 occur in the parabolic component in the first power and in the S-component in the second power. Since the fl-values are small, the S-corn-ponent is smaller than the parabolic component. If the p values are raised, the S-component may be increased with respect to the parabolic component until the desired ratio between the parabolic and S-components is attained, after which without changing this ratio the two corn-ponents can be simultaneously decreased by varying R22 relatively to R20 to their desired values relative to the sawtooth component. By increasing the fl-values, how-ever, the negligence of the higher-power terms in Equa-tion 6 is no longer permissible. The control-signal will therefore contain not only the desired sawtooth, parabolic and S-components but also an excess of undesirable 4th, 5th and even higher power terms. This means that the increase in the values of g is re-stricted so that the desired ratio between the parabolic and S-components cannot be adjusted in this manner. According to the principle of the invention negative feedback is used apart from the introduction of the nega-tive sawtooth source V15= —bt and the parallel connec-tion therewith of the network R20r19, The anode current is of the valve 1 can be indicated by ia=S(Vi—aVic), wherein S is the mutual conductance of the valve 1, and VK is the cathode voltage thereof.

In the known circuit arrangements of Patent No. 2,851,632 the part of the arrangement for the production of the sawtooth and cor-rection voltages comprises four capacitors and five resis-tors. In the arrangement according to the invention five capacitors and six resistors are required. In principle, we are concerned with a different arrangement of a substan-tially equal number of parts, the values of which have to be chosen carefully or which have to be variable. In the foregoing the fact is left out of consideration that the voltage V15 obtained from the winding 7 contains not only a linear term —bt but also second- and third-degree components, since the anode current i a, which induces a voltage in the winding 7, contains second- and third-degree terms. However, if the value of p, is chosen correctly, it can be said that the influence of the third- and fourth-degree terms in vo,tage V15 with respect to the linear term is negligible. An exact calculation can, of course, be made, in which all factors also the negative feedback through the winding 7 are considered. The formulae then obtained are, however, so compli-cated that it is difficult to make conclusions therefrom. In the explanation given above, it is therefore preferred to use an approximate calculation, which has the advantage of providing a good insight in the operation of the circuit arrangement. So far the function of the triode 23 has been left out of consideration, since it is not connected with the prin-ciple of the invention. This triode only serves for a periodi-cal discharge of the capacitor 8. To this end the signal derived from the output transformer 2 is applied through a further secondary winding 24 and various capacitors and resistors to the control-grid of the valve 23. The signal derived from the winding 24 has the same waveform as the signal 13 and ensures that during the fly-back the triode 23 gets into the conducting state, so that the capac-itor 8 is discharged. The terminals 24' and 25 receive frame synchronising pulses which provide a direct syn-chronisation of the valve 23. It appears therefrom that the oscillator circuit formed by the valves 1. and 23 is of the so-called trnultivibrator type, in which, however, the feed-back of the anode of the valve 1 to the control grid of the valve 23 is performed through the output transformer 2. It will be obvious, however, that any other control-method for valve 23 may be employed. The valve 23 may be formed by a blocking oscillator, so that this valve in itself is included in an independent oscillator circuit which provides a periodical discharge of the capacitor 8. The advantage of the arrangement of FIG. I is however, that a separate blocking transformer is economised, whilst only the winding 24 suffices for obtaining a self-oscillating circuit. It is neither strictly necessary for the deflection coil 4 to be connected through the winding 3 of the transformer 2 to the anode of the valve 1. When the impedance of the de-flection coil 4 allows so, it may be connected through a capacitor cutting off the direct current to the anode of the valve 1. In this case the primary winding of the trans-former 2 can be considered to be a choke with which the secondary winding 7 is magnetically coupled. The wind-ing 24 may, if desired, also be coupled with said choke, if a transformer arrangement of the multivibrator type is desired, or the winding 24 may be omitted, and the valve 23 may be formed by a blocking oscillator. Particularly, if transistors are used instead of valves, it is common practice to couple the vertical deflection coil 4 directly with the collector electrode of the output transistor.It will be obvious that with the use of transistors all parts of the arrangement of FIG. I remain the same and that the operation is quite identical. In the calculations it is indifferent whether valves or transistors are employed. Possible modifications of the arrangement of FIG. I may be explained with reference to FIGS. 4 and S. FIG. 4 shows the resistor 22 connected, instead of being con-nected between the control-grid 5 and the tapping 9, to the earth-connected end of the resistor 10. This mode of connection brings about scarcely any difference with re-spect to the A.C. effect from that of FIG. 3, but with re-spect to the D.C. adjustment of the valve 1 there is some difference. In the case of FIG. 3 the D.C. bias voltage of the control-grid 5 will follow the displacement of the tapping 9. In the arrangement of FIG. 4 this is not the case. It will be obvious that this modification also holds good without the need for further means for the arrange-ment of FIG. I, since only the end of the resistor 22 re-mote from the control-grid 5 has to be connected to earth. A further possible modification is shown in FIG. 5. In parallel with the source 8' there is connected a poten-tiometer resistor 27, provided with a variable tapping 26. The end of the resistor 22 remote from the control-grid 5 is connected to the tapping 26. This modification operates accurately like that of FIG. 3, which may be explained as follows. It is assumed that the variable tapping 26 is dis-placed towards the connection with the variable tapping 9. Then the same arrangement is obtained as that of FIG. 3 and therefore the operation is therefore quite identical. If, however, the tapping 26 is displaced towards the junc-tion of the sources 8' and 15', the resistor 22 is in parallel with the resistor 20 and the operation of the arrangement of FIG. 5 will be accurately the same as that of FIG. 3, if resistor 22 had an infinite value. This means that in Equation 6 the factor 02=0 and that both the quadratic and S-components will assume maximum values. It will be seen that the displacement of the tapping 26 from the junction of the sources 8' and 15' towards the tapping 9 brings about an attenuation of the parabolic and of the S-components. It can therefore be said that the displace-ment of the tapping 26 in the said direction has the same effect as a decrease of the resistor 22 in the arrangement of FIG. 3. The modification of FIG. 5 may be realised in the ar-rangement of FIG. I by providing a potentiometer 27 with a tapping 26 in parallel with the capacitor 8 and by connecting the end of the resistor 22 remote from the control-grid 5 to the tapping 26. It should be noted that the resistance value of the potentiometer 27 should not be too high, since it should not effect too strongly the value of the factor p2• What is claimed is: 1.
