Description:

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The invention relates to a picture display apparatus with a cathode ray tube, comprising a standby device which remains active in a standby state of the apparatus, and a self-oscillating switched-mode power supply (SMPS) comprising, in cascade between two terminals of a source of direct current obtained by line voltage rectification, a switch, a ballast inductance, and the supply current path of a line output stage which generates power supply voltages for different elements of the device to be insulated from the line voltage, the standby state being obtained by stopping the line scan while the SMPS is always active and feeds the standby device, the SMPS switch, which has successive periods of conductance and non-conductance, being rendered non-conducting at the end of each period of conductance by means of a blocking arrangement which measures the current in the switch and controls the operation of rendering said switch non-conducting when the measured current exceeds a predetermined value.

The invention is applicable, inter alia, in the field of television and monitors.

2. Description of the Related Art

An SMPS is known from U.S. Pat. No. 4,788,591. It comprises a blocking arrangement which measures the current in the switch and controls the operation of rendering this switch non-conducting when the measured current exceeds a predetermined value. The assembly controlling the successive periods of conductance and non-conductance is, however, relatively complex.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

It is an object of the invention to simplify the control in such a way that a control at both low cost and great reliability is obtained.

To this end, the switch, being a MOS-type field-effect transistor, is turned on at the start of each period of conductance by means of a winding which is magnetically coupled to the ballast inductance, this winding having one end connected to a connection point between the switch and the ballast inductance so as to generate, at its other end, a control voltage which, with respect to the connection point, is in phase opposition with the voltage generated in the ballast inductance, said control voltage being transmitted to the gate of the field effect transistor via a first capacitor, while a second capacitor is arranged as a shunt across the drain-source path of the field effect transistor.

The terminal of the DC source connected to the field-effect transistor being referred to as first terminal, the blocking arrangement is preferably connected between the gate of the MOS transistor and the second terminal of the DC source, and comprises a current-measuring resistor which is inserted between the line output stage and the second terminal, the blocking arrangement being advantageously constituted essentially by a blocking transistor having its main current path between the gate of the MOS transistor and the second terminal of the DC source, and its base-emitter path coupled to the current-measuring resistor.

The blocking arrangement and the means for rendering the switch conducting thus cooperate in a simple manner.

The apparatus advantageously comprises a control circuit connected between a terminal which holds the power supply voltage of the line output stage and the base of the blocking transistor.

The blocking arrangement and the control circuit thus cooperate in a simple manner.

The standby circuit is advantageously fed from a rectifier arrangement connected to an additional winding which is magnetically coupled to the ballast inductance.

This ensures power supply of the standby circuit during the standby periods.

These and other aspects of the invention will be apparent from and elucidated with reference to the embodiments described hereinafter.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

The invention will be described with reference to a television set, but it is also applicable to any other picture display apparatus, for example, a monitor.

The television set, which is shown in a diagram in FIG. 1, comprises a tuner 22 for receiving a signal, for example, from an antenna 37 and for transposing the frequency of the apparatus to intermediate frequencies intended for a subsequent IF video amplifier 23 and an IF audio amplifier 24. The IF audio amplifier 24 is followed by a demodulator 29 which supplies the audio signals in the baseband to an audio output amplifier 27 feeding a loudspeaker 33. The IF video amplifier 23 is followed by a unit video processor/sync. separator 25 which supplies a video signal in the baseband to a video amplifier 26 supplying the signals ad hoc to the electrodes of a cathode ray tube 32. The video processor/sync. separator unit 25 also extracts, from the signal, synchronizing signals which are applied to a line scanning circuit 36 and a field scanning circuit 28. The field scanning circuit 28 supplies a current in a field deflection coil 30. The line scanning circuit 36 comprises an output stage 35 which supplies a current in a line deflection coil 34 and generates a voltage, referred to as "extra-high tension" (EHT) of approximately 25 kV for supplying power to the screen of the display tube via a connection 31. The line output stage 35 is fed via a connection 49 by a self-oscillating switched-mode power supply circuit 38 which itself is DC-fed by a DC soure 39 of known type which can be connected to the line voltage by means of a current terminal 43 and is essentially constituted by a rectifier assembly and a storage capacitor. The other circuits 22-29, which must be insulated from the line voltage are fed in known mariner from the line output stage 35 through connections which, for the purpose of simplifying the Figure, are not shown. The switched-mode power supply 38 is not synchronized with the line frequency. A standby device 48, which remains active in a standby state of the apparatus, is directly fed by the SMPS 38. The standby state is obtained by stopping the line output stage 35, which suppresses the supply of the circuits 22-29 from the line output stage 35, while the SMPS 38 is always active and feeds the standby device 48.

The SMPS of FIG. 2 corresponds to the SMPS 38 of FIG. 1. The DC source 39 in FIG. 1 provides a voltage Vs of about 300 V, obtained by a rectifier bridge if the mains is 220 V, or by a doubler in the case of 110 V. This voltage is applied between a first terminal 20 and a second terminal 21, with its positive pole, for example, at the terminal 20. The polarity types of the semiconductors mentioned hereinafter are derived from this polarity.

The power supply comprises, in cascade from the terminal 20, a switch consisting of an N-channel, enhancement-mode MOS field-effect transistor 1, and a ballast inductance 5 connected to a power supply input of the line output stage 35 in which the power supply current path ends at the terminal 21. The line output stage 35 is shunted by a storage capacitor 4 and the assembly consisting of the line output stage 35 in cascade with the winding 5 is shunted by a recovery diode 2. The operation of the elements 1, 5, 4, 2, 35 mentioned above is well known. The power supply voltage supplied to the line output stage 35 is, for example, 100 V.

The switch for the SMPS, namely the transistor 1, has successive periods of conductance and non-conductance. The operation of rendering it non-conducting is controlled by a blocking arrangement which measures the current and controls the blocking of transistor 1 when the measured current exceeds a predetermined value. This arrangement is essentially constituted by transistor 10 of the NPN type, referred to as blocking transistor, having its main current path between the gate of MOS transistor 1 and the second terminal 21 of the DC source, in series with a resistor 13, and having its base-emitter path connected to a current measuring resistor 8 which is inserted between the line output stage 35 and the second terminal 21. The current which flows through the resistor 8 is substantially the same as that which flows through the transistor 1. The voltage generated by the current in the resistor 8 is transmitted to the base 53 of the transistor 10 via a resistor 7.

One end of a winding 6, which is magnetically coupled to the ballast inductance 5, is connected to the point 50 between a transistor 1 and the inductance 5. This winding is coiled in such a sense that it generates, between its other end 51 and the point 50, a control voltage which is in phase opposition with the voltage generated in the ballast inductance, i.e., with the voltage between the point 49 and the point 50. The other end 51 is connected to the gate of the field-effect transistor via a first capacitor 12 in series with a resistor 11. A second capacitor 42 is arranged as a shunt onto the drain-source path of the field-effect transistor.

The standby circuit 48 shown in FIG. 1 is supplied by a terminal 44 of the SMPS from a rectifier arrangement consisting of a diode 45 and a storage capacitor 47 connected to an additional winding 46 which is magnetically coupled to the ballast inductance 5.

The operation of this assembly will be explained with reference to the characteristic curves in FIG. 3 and the diagram in FIG. 2. Let it be assumed that the transistor 1 is turned on. The voltage at the point 50 in FIG. 2, indicated by the reference numeral 16 in FIG. 3, is 300 V: if neglecting the voltage at the terminals of the transistor 1, the terminal 49 is at 100-300=-200 V with respect to the terminal 50. As the windings 5 and 6 operate as a transformer, a positive voltage is generated at the point 51 with respect to the point 50. This voltage, transmitted to the gate of transistor 1 by the capacitor 12 and the resistor 11, maintains the transistor 1 conducting. The voltage at the terminals of the inductance 5, between the point 50 and the point 49, being fixed, the current in this inductance 5, indicated by the reference numeral 19, and also flowing in the transistor 1 and in the resistor 8, has an approximately linear growth. Let it be assumed, for example, that the resistor 8 has a value of 0.56 ohm. When the current reaches approximately 1.8 amperes, it will develop a voltage of 1 Volt which, via the resistor 7, renders the transistor 10 conducting. The lower end of the resistor 13 then decreases to almost zero volt. The voltage applied to the gate of transistor 1 is that of the left plate of the capacitor 12 but is decreased by the divider bridge effect of the resistors 11 and 13. The transistor 1 becomes non-conducting. At this instant, the current in the inductance 5, which cannot disappear in one go, ends via the recovery diode 2 which becomes conducting. The voltage at the point 50 therefore decreases to approximately -0.8 V. Thus, there is approximately 101 V between the terminal 49 and the terminal 50. As the windings 5 and 6 always operate as a transformer, a negative voltage is generated at the point 51 with respect to the point 50. This voltage, transmitted to the gate of transistor 1, confirms and reinforces the blocking operation. As the current no longer flows in the resistor 8, the transistor 10 becomes non-conducting again and the voltage again builds up at its collector, but as a consequence of the voltage applied by the winding 6, this does not render the transistor 1 conducting. From this instant, the current, indicated by the reference numeral 14, decreases in an approximately linear manner. When it has become zero, the capacitor 42 will start resonating with the inductance 5, which triggers a free oscillation; the reference numeral 15 shows what this oscillation would look like if it could last. However, when the voltage at the point 50 exceeds 100 V, i.e., when it becomes higher than the voltage at the point 49, a positive voltage will again be induced at the point 51, this voltage being transmitted to the gate of transistor 1 and rendering this transistor conducting. The oscillation 15 is then stopped and the voltage at the point 50 builds up to 300 V, as indicated at 18.

A control circuit 41 is connected between the terminal 49, having the power supply voltage of the line output stage, and the connection to the base 53 of the blocking transistor 10. This circuit, which is of a known type and is based on the comparison between a voltage of a zener diode and a fraction of the power supply voltage, is illustrated in FIG. 4. It comprises, between the terminal 49 and ground, two cascade arrangements: that of a zener diode 58 and a resistor 57, and that of a controllable resistor 55 and a resistor 56. The junction point of the first-mentioned cascade arrangement is connected to the emitter of a transistor 54 of the PNP type, and the junction point of the secondly mentioned cascade arrangement is connected to the base of this transistor, whose collector is connected via a resistor 59 to the base 53 of the transistor 10 in FIG. 2. With the zener diode being for example, a 5 V model, the emitter voltage of transistor 54 is of about 95 V which is higher than the base voltage of the transistor 10 in FIG. 2. The transistor 54 thus adds a DC current in the resistor 7, this DC current shifting the triggering threshold of the transistor 10.

In a satisfactory embodiment, the power supply comprises the following essential components:

transistor 1=BUK444, transistor 10=BF487, transistor 54=BF423,

diode 2=BYD34, zener diode 58=BZX79-C5V6

capacitor 42=330 pF, capacitor 12=33 nF,

resistor 11=1.8 kΩ, resistor 13=6.8 kΩ, resistor 8=0.56 Ω, resistor 7=330 Ω, resistor 57=33 kΩ, resistor 55=10 kΩ, resistor 56=100 kΩ, resistor 59=10 kΩ.

The line output stage 35 may be de-activated by known means which does not form part of the invention, in such a way that the module 35 no longer supplies voltages to the other elements 22-28 in FIG. 1, with the effect that the apparatus is in a standby state and that the line output stage consumes hardly any current. The known means in question may consist of, for example, a control for the user who, by means of an opto-coupler inserted in a signal connection of the line output stage, interrupts this signal and stops the scan. The currents in the power supply are then very small, but the control circuit 41 maintains the voltage of 100 V, and as that of 300 V is always also present, the voltage at the terminals of the inductance 5 remains unchanged and thus also the voltage at the terminals of the winding 46; the standby circuit 58 is always supplied with the same voltage.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

Vision IF amplifier, demodulator and video amplifier

The IF amplifier of the TDA8305A has three AC~coupled stages, each stage having a control range
that exceeds 20 dB. AC-coupling means that the DC-feedback circuitry of the ampiifier (present in
the TDA4505) can be omitted, resulting in a saving of one pin. An additional advantage is the
symmetry of the amplifier which results in a less critical application.

In the TDA8305A the regenerated carrier signal islimited by a logarithmic limiter circuit before it is
passed on to a passive synchronous demodulator. The limiter has a very low differential phase shift
which results in good differential gain and phase figures.

The TDA8305A's video amplifier has a higher bandwidth and better linearity compared with that of
the TDA4505. A noise clamp is included in the video amplifier that limits the interference pulses
to a level just below the top sync. This circuit is more effective than the noise inverter used in the
TDA4505 and results in an improved picture stability, with respect to interference.

AFC circuit

In the TDA4505 and TDA8305A, the reference signal for the AFC circuit is obtained from the
demodulator tuned circuit which means only one tuned circuit and adjustment are needed. The
disadvantage with this method is that the frequency spectrum fed to the detector is determined by the
SAW filter characteristic. This spectrum is asymmetrical with respect to the picture carrier so that the
AFC output voltage is dependent on the video signal. This was the main problem found with the
TDA4505's AFC circuit.

To remove this problem the TDA8305A is equipped with a sample-and-hold circuit which samples
during the sync level of the signal. This means that only the carrier signal is available to the AFC
and it will not be affected by the video information. The additional pin required for this circuit is
provided by the pin that became available when the DC feedback circuit was removed from the IF
amplifier (see previous section).

Weak input signals will cause the drive signal of the AFC to contain a lot of noise. This noise signal
has an asymmetrical frequency spectrum that causes an offset in the AFC output voltage, this
offset can be reduced by applying a notch to the demodulator circuit. The sample-and-hold circuit
is followed by a high output impedance amplifier, therefore the AFC's control steepness is
dependent on the load impedance.

AGC circuit

The TDA8305A's AGC detector differs from that of the TDA4505 in that it doesn’t need the charge
resistor but has an internal current source. Also the circuitry between the detector capacitor and the
control stages has been changed to improve the signal-to-noise ratio of the video output signal

(no dips in the S/N ratio depending on the input signal amplitude). The point of tuner take-over
is preset by the voltage level at pin 1.

Sound circuit and horizontal oscillator starting function:

The input to the sound IF amplifier is by means of a bandpass filter coupling from the video output
(pin 17). The sound is demodulated and passed via a volume control stage to the audio

output amplifier. Volume control is obtained by connecting a potentiometer (10 k9.) between pin 11
and ground, or by supplying pin 11 with a variable voitage. Sound output is suppressed by an
internal mute signal when no TV signal is identified.

Improvement of sound quality was one of the main reasons for redesigning the TDA4505. To obtain
a better idea of the performance of the various circuits of the TDA4505 the following measurements
were carried out:
 Weak signal performance when a TBA120 is driven with an intercarrier signal obtained from the
vision IF circuit of the TDA4505 (the sound IF of the latter was not used)

 The same measurement for the sound IF circuit of the TDA4505 driven from another TDA4505
(again without using the sound IF circuit)

 The same measurement as in the first case but with the sound IF of the TDA4505 connected
normally

From the results of these measurements it was established that the sound problem was caused by an
interaction between vision IF and sound circuits. The improved sound quality of the TDA8305A as
compared to the TDA4505 was achieved by:

 A very symmetrical vision-IF amplifier which is less sensitive to radiation from the sound IF
amplifier

0 A change to the internal ground and supply connections of the IC to reduce coupling between
both circuits

DC volume control/Horizontal oscillator start

Horizontal oscillator; the operation depending on the application. During switchon if no current is
supplied to pin 11 this pin will act as a volume control. When a current of 9.0 mA is supplied to
pin 11 the volume control is set to a fixed output signal and the device will generate drive pulses
for the horizontal deflection. The main supply can then be derived from the horizontal deflection
circuit.

Horizontal synchronization

The video input signal (positive video) is connected to pin 25. The horizontal synchronization has
two control loops that generate a sandcastle pulse. Using the oscillator sawtooth facilitates
accurate timing of the burst key pulse. Therefore, the phase of this sawtooth must have a fixed
relationship to the sync pulse, which is achieved by use of the second control loop.

The TDA8305A's horizontal synchronization circuit differs from that of the TDA4505 in that:

 The horizontal oscil|ator's retrace occurs during the horizontal retrace and not during the scan
period. This means that with weak input signals no interference will be visible on the screen.
It also prevents video crosstalk from disturbing the picture phase
 The reference signal for the horizontal phase detector is nearer to being symmetrical and is
independent of the supply voltage and temperature. As a consequence the frequency shift of
the horizontal oscillator during noise is reduced
 The current ratio of the phase detector for strong and weak signals is increased to obtain better
behaviour during both VCR-playback and weak signal reception. The switching level is independent
of supply voltage and temperature.

Horizontal phase detector
The circuit has the following operating conditions.

(a) Strong input signal, synchronized or non-synchronized.
(The strong/weak signal condition is obtained from the AGC circuit; the in-sync/out«of—sync
from the coincidence detector). In this condition the time constant is optimum for VCR-playback
i.e. fast time constant during the vertical retrace (to be able to correct VCR head-errors) and
such, that during scan, fluctuations of the sync are corrected. The phase detector is not gated.

lb) Weak signal — synchronized
In this condition the time constant is increased compared to condition (a). Also the phase
detector is gated when the oscillator is synchronized. This ensures a stable display which is not
disturbed by noise in the video signal.

(c) Weak signal - non-synchronized.

in this condition the time constant during scan and vertical retrace are the same as during scan
in condition (3).

Vertical synchronization
The TDA8305A's vertical circuit differs from that ofthe TDA4505 in that it has:
 Improved interlacing ~ the timing of the internal pulses is now close to a 50/50 ratio. This timing
is independent of supply voltage and temperature
 The temperature drift of the vertical amplitude has been reduced
 Reduction of noise in the vertical output signal so that modulation of the line distance will no
longer be visible on large screen sets.
 When out-of-sync is detected by the horizontal circuit the divider is switched to 625 lines.
This results in a stable amplitude when no input signal is available. In the TDA4505 the divider
remains in the wide window during this condition which means interference may affect stability.

Vertical sync pulse

The vertical sync pulse integrator will not be disturbed when the vertical sync pulses have a width
of 10 ,us with a separation of 22 ps. These types of vertical sync pulses are sometimes generated by
video tapes with anti-copy guard.

Vertical divider system

The TDA8305A embodies a synchronized divider system for generating the vertical sawtooth at pin 2.
The divider system has an internal frequency doubling circuit, which allows the horizontal oscillator to
operate at its normal line frequency. One line period equals 2 clock pulses.

Use of the divider system avoids the requirement for vertical frequency adjustment. The divider has
a discriminator window for automatic switching from 60 Hz to 50 Hz mode. When the trigger pulse
comes before line 576 the 60 Hz mode is selected, otherwise the 50 Hz mode is selected.

The divider system operates with 2 different divider reset windows for maximum interference}
disturbance protection.

The windows are activated via an up/down counter.

The counter increases its counter value by 1 each time the separated vertical sync pulse is within the
search window. When not within the search window this value is decreased by 1.

The operating modes of the divider system are as follows:

Mode A
Large search window (divider ratio between 488 and 722)

This mode is valid for the following conditions:

 Divider is looking for a new transmitter

 Divider ratio found - not within the narrow window limits

 Up/down counter value of the divider system operating in the narrow window mode drops below
count 10

Mode 8
Narrow window (divider ratio between 522 to 528, 60 Hz; or 622 to 628, 50 Hz)

The divider system switches over to this mode when the up/down counter has reached its maximum
value of 15 approved vertical sync pulses. when the divider operates in this mode and a vertical sync
pulse is missing within the window, the divider is reset at the end of the window and the counter value
is decreased by 1. At a counter value below 10 the divider system switches over to the large window
mode.

The divider system also generates an anti-topflutter pulse which inhibits the phase 1 detector during
the vertical sync pulse. The pulse width is dependent on the divider mode. In Mode A the start is
generated by reset of the divider
in Mode B the anti-topflutter pulse starts at the beginning of the first equalizing pulse.

The anti-topflutter pulse ends at count 10 for the 50 Hz mode and count 12 for the 60 Hz mode.

The vertical blanking pulse is also generated via the divider system. The start is by reset of the divider
while the blanking pulse width is 34 (17 lines) for the 60 Hz mode and at count 42 (21 lines) for
the 50 Hz mode.

The vertical blanking pulse at the sandcastle output (pin 27) is generated by adding the anti-topflutter
pulse to the blanking pulse. Thus the vertical blanking pulse starts at the beginning of the first
equalizing pulse when the divider operates in Mode B. The length of the vertical blanking in this
condition is 21 lines in the 60 Hz mode and 25 lines in the 50 Hz mode.


Application when external video signals require synchronization

The input to the sync separator is externally available via pin 25. For normal application the video
output signal at pin 17 is AC coupled to this input as shown in Fig.11. It is possible to interrupt this
connection and drive the sync separator from other sources such as:

 A teletext decoder in serial mode
 An external video signal via a peritelevision connector

When a teletext decoder is applied the IF amplifier and synchronization circuit are operating in the
same phase which means that various connections between the two sections li.e. AGC gating) can
remain active. When external signals are applied to the sync separator the connections between the
two parts must be interrupted. This can be achieved by connecting pin 22 to ground, which results
in the following conditions:

AGC detector is not gated

 AFC circuit is active

 Mute circuit not active — sound channel remains switched on

 Phase detector 1 has an optimal time constant for external video sources and is not gated.

X-ray protection

By forcing pin 1 below 1 V the horizontal output changes to a high resistance. The protection can be

released by switching off the mains.


The AFC control voltage is obtained by multiplying the IF output signal (which is also used to
drive the synchronous demodulator) with a reference carrier. This reference carrier is obtained
from the demodulator tuned circuit via a 90 degree phase shift network. The IF output signal
has an asymmetrical frequency spectrum with respect to the carrier frequency. To avoid
problems due to this asymmetrical signal the AFC circuit is followed by a sample-and-hold
circuit which samples during the sync level. As a result the AFC output voltage contains no
video information. The specified control steepness is without using an external load resistor.
The control steepness decreases when the AFC output is loaded with two resistors between
the voltage supply and ground.

At very weak input signals the drive signal for the AFC circuit will have a high noise content.
This noise input has an asymmetrical frequency spectrum which will cause an offset of the
AFC output voltage. To avoid problems due to this effect a notch filter can be built in to the
demodulator tuned circuit. The characteristics given for weak input signals are measured without
a notch circuit, with a SAW filter connected in front of the IC (input signal such that the input
signal of the IC is 150 uV (RMS value).

The minimum value is obtained with a 1.8 k9. series resistor connected between pin 17 and
pin 25. The slicing level can be varied by changing the value of this resistor (a higher resistance
results in a larger value of the minimum sync pulse amplitude). The slicing level is independent
of the video information.

Frequency control is obtained by supplying a correction current to the oscillator RC-network.
This is achieved via a resistor connected between the phase 1 detector output and the oscillator
network. The oscillator can be adjusted to the correct frequency by:
 short-circuit the sync separator bias network (pin 25) to the voltage supply.

To avoid the necessity of a VCR switch, the time constant of the phase detector at strong input
signals is sufficiently short to obtain a stable picture during VCFl playback. During the vertical
retrace period the time constant is even shorter so that VCR head errors are compensated for at
the beginning of the scan. During weak signal conditions (information derived from the AGC
circuit) the time constant is increased to obtain a good noise immunity.

This figure is valid for an external load impedance of 82 kfl connected between pin 28 and

the shift adjustment potentiometer.

The horizontal flyback input and the sandcastle output have been combined on pin 27. The
flyback pulse is clamped to a level of 4.5 V. The minimum current to drive the second control
loop is 0.1 mA.

The functions in—sync/out-of-sync and transmitter identification have been combined on pin 22.
The capacitor is charged during the sync pulse and discharged during the time difference
between gating and sync pulse.

The vertical scan is synchronized by means of a divider system, therefore no adjustment is
required for the ramp generator. The divider detects whether the incoming signal has a vertical
frequency of 50 or 60 Hz and corrects the vertical amplitude.

To avoid screenburn due to a collapse of the vertical deflection, a continuous blanking level is
inserted into the sandcastle pulse when the feedback voltage of the vertical deflection is not
within the specified limits.


PHILIPS TDA3565 PAL decoder:

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The TDA3565 PAL decoder contains all the functions required for PAL signal decoding and colour matrixing and is contained within an 18-pin package. The oscillator, a.c.c. detector and burst phase detector each have single-pin outputs and the coupling capacitor for the luminance input at pin 8 doubles as a storage capacitor for the black level clamping circuit. Black level clamping of the three colour channels is performed using feedback proportional to the red channel black level. This feedback (variable with the brightness control) controls the input level of the luminance amplifier and therefore the clamping levels of all three colour signal outputs.


PHILIPS TDA3653B TDA3653C Vertical deflection and guard circuit  (90˚)

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The TDA3653B/C is a vertical deflection output circuit for drive of various deflection systems with currents up to 1.5 A peak-to-peak.
Features
• Driver
• Output stage
• Thermal protection and output stage protection
• Flyback generator
• Voltage stabilizer
• Guard circuit

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Output stage and protection circuit
Pin 5 is the output pin. The supply for the output stage is fed to pin 6 and the output stage ground is connected to pin 4.
The output transistors of the class-B output stage can each deliver 0.75 A maximum.
The maximum voltage for pin 5 and 6 is 60 V.
The output power transistors are protected such that their operation remains within the SOAR area. This is achieved by
the co-operation of the thermal protection circuit, the current-voltage detector, the short-circuit protection and the special
measures in the internal circuit layout.
Driver and switching circuit Pin 1 is the input for the driver of the output stage. The signal at pin 1 is also applied via external resistors to pin 3 which is the input of a switching circuit. When the flyback starts, this switching circuit rapidly turns off the lower output stage and so limits the turn-off dissipation. It also allows a quick start of the flyback generator.
External connection of pin 1 to pin 3 allows for applications in which the pins are driven separately.
Flyback generator
During scan the capacitor connected between pins 6 and 8 is charged to a level which is dependent on the value of the resistor at pin 8
When the flyback starts and the voltage at the output pin (pin 5) exceeds the supply voltage, the flyback generator is activated.
The supply voltage is then connected in series, via pin 8, with the voltage across the capacitor during the flyback period.
This implies that during scan the supply voltage can be reduced to the required scan voltage plus saturation voltage of the output transistors.
The amplitude of the flyback voltage can be chosen by changing the value of the external resistor at pin 8.
It should be noted that the application is chosen such that the lowest voltage at pin 8 is > 2.5 V, during normal operation.
Guard circuit
When there is no deflection current and the flyback generator is not activated, the voltage at pin 8 reduces to less than 1.8 V. The guard circuit will then produce a DC voltage at pin 7, which can be used to blank the picture tube and thus prevent screen damage.
Voltage stabilizer
The internal voltage stabilizer provides a stabilized supply of 6 V to drive the output stage, which prevents the drive current of the output stage being affected by supply voltage variations.
